The group relies on members being willing to spend some time researching and then giving presentations on topics of their own choice.

Our 17 members have continued to meander across a wide spectrum of issues. Recently we have looked at religion and considered what makes us human – what is the nature of man - and looked at various philosophers such as Plato, Kant, Nietzsche, Sartre. We have also looked at Singer, animal rights and the nature of consciousness and whether a robot could be conscious. In the last year we have branched out a bit with topics such as Beauty, Time, Taoism and Confucianism, Free-will and capital punishment. Furthermore, various members of the group have taken up the gauntlet and presented topics.
