Philosophical Salon
I've always loves the idea 'the Philosophical Salon' - an idea from around 100 years where people would meet together to exchange ideas... pre -internet and electronic communications, they usually happened in people's drawing rooms - often in the European Capitals like Paris or London - and would include people from lots of different backgrounds....philosophers, musicians, artists, doctors, writers. The occasions were social, but with style ... and it was understood the conversation went a bit deeper than the weather !!
Inspire by this, I've recently organised gatherings at home with people who like to exchange about life, and its meanings ... and have had around five get togethers so far. I thought I mights start to write up some of the ideas and issues which have arisen...as a kind of inspirational diary !
