Welcome to the
Blackheath Philosophy Forum

2012 Season

In 2012 we will discuss two strands of philosophical thought:

"Philosophy & Rights"

and

"Mind & Body"

Starting Saturday April 14 and fortnighly until mid-July
(Further details coming soon.)

The 2012 season of talks will be divided into three talks on a politcal
aspect of philosophy (should we have a Bill of Rights?) , followed by five talks
on cognitive philosophy, presenting the latest information and ideas
about the brain and consciousness.

.

Meanwhile, we are holding a series of informal meetings, coffee mornings,
lunches, etc, for those interested in discussing philosophical matters.
Further details will be sent to you via our email newsletter.

Blackheath Philosophy Weekends

For out-of-towners a visit to Blackheath for the Forum is an enjoyable way to
spend a weekend. Click HERE for details of accommodation and
the weekend program of wining & dining.

Blackheath Philosophy Forum was conceived in 2002 by Lis Bastian, then a newcomer to Blackheath, in conjunction with two long-time residents: Peter Baldwin, a former member of Federal Parliament, and Jean Curthoys, formerly Senior Lecturer in the Philsophy Department of the University of Sydney. They were interested in holding regular discussion forums on philsophical topics. Members of the committee come from a variety of backgrounds. Some have a background in academic philosophy, others do not. What we have in common is an abiding interest in the subject, and a commitment to making its insights and debates available to a wide audience. The current Chair of the Committee is Peter Baldwin.
