Welcome to the
Nottingham Philosophy Club
Our next Session:
Is Time An Illusion?
Albert Einstein famously said the past, present and future are only illusions, even if stubbornly persistent ones. Time is very real in terms of how we live and experience the world, but when you dig deeper — whether in physics or in philosophy — it starts to look more like a mental or mathematical construct than something that “flows” independently.
The next meeting of the Nottingham Philosophy Club is on Tuesday 20th May starting at 7.30 pm – the location is: 34 Waldeck Road, Carrington, Nottingham NG5 2AF
Join the Nottingham Philosophy Club for engaging, thought-provoking discussions. Each month, we explore a new topic with a brief introduction, followed by open conversation among the group. Whether you’re an expert or just curious, everyone is welcome to share their thoughts and perspectives.
Our gatherings take place in a comfortable, informal setting, hosted at a member’s home. Meetings last for two hours. With around 15 participants, you can choose to actively engage or just listen and learn. Meetings are held on the third Tuesday of each month.
We are a genuine discussion group – we do not have a philosophy of our own to promote. Rather, we are keen to hear all opinions. Most members have no philosophical training – all you need to join is an enthusiasm for thinking and discussion.
