Friday 13 June, 8 p.m. at 21 rue de Luxembourg, L5364 Schrassig (home of Carol and Steve McCarthy)

This is the first of a new series of discussion evenings, following up some points raised at previous meetings and partly in response to ex-environmentalist and writer Paul Kingsnorth, who maintains that environmental degradation and other ills have already gone so far that there is no point in trying to stop or reverse the situation. We disagree, and planned this series of discussions, not just about the environment but also about what it means to live a fulfilled life. Friday’s meeting will look at some basic questions about how we should live our lives and what rules should guide us.

We will watch a film in which political philosopher Michael Sandel presents three philosophers, Bentham, Kant and Aristotle, and illustrates their theories. This is not at all dry academic stuff but presented entertainingly, and I hope it will provide a useful background to our subsequent discussion of issues that are currently relevant to us.

Please let me know if you are planning to come – thanks to those who have already done so.

Best wishes

Philippa
