In the pub! says Archbishop and Socrates might meet you there


The Archbishop of Canterbury, no less, suggested that a good vicar might go into the pub to engage with people about the things that matter.  In Peterborough, which is up the A1 and an expanding town, Michael Reid takes philosophy into the pub.  It is engaging, it is illuminating, it is open to everyone and gives everyone a chance to be a philosopher.  What I most liked from my corner was seeing people who I had initially thought to be people in the pub turn into philosophers.  It is suddenly as clear as clear that we are all philosophers and some of us do philosophy best in the pub.  Thanks Michael for a most enlightening evening, I give it five stars and will definitely come again.  Will I see you there? or will you start philosophy in your own pub?  Of course, in addition you can enrol in a course in philosophy in both Cambridge or Peterborough by going to http://www.cbphilosophy.org.
