27 September: PHILOSOPHY IN EVERYDAY LIFE
Introduced and chaired by Anja Steinbauer
Published this month, The Art of Living is a new series of books that seeks to answer the age-old question of "how should we live?"
Covering modern-day issues that concern us all at one time or another - WORK, FAME, HUNGER, CLOTHES, DECEPTION, ILLNESS, WELLBEING, PETS and SPORT - The Art of Living titles are all written by well-known names in their field, including Raymond Tallis, Colin McGinn, John Harvon and Mark Vernon, who draw on their own experiences or interests as well as philosophical tradition.
Two of the authors, Ziyad Marar (Deception) and Erica Fudge (Pets) will introduce their books, after which there will be the usual amount of time for questions and debate.
Copies of all the books in the series will be available on the day.
