Cards on the table: Do you agree?
This month we will be exploring meta-ethics. Where does morality come from? Are some things morally right for all people everywhere, or does morality vary from culture to culture, or person to person? Can moral claims be justified on wholly rational grounds? Are moral claims fundamentally emotional? We will discuss these and other topics. Members will be talking through 5 or 6 different cards, each of which will have several different quotes or claims.
We encourage people to put forward their points of view without fear. No academic or philosophical background is necessary, only a passion for inquiry. Just turn up and enjoy.
