| DATE | |
| Oct 03 & 17 | |
| Nov 07 & 21 |
October: HUMANKIND
Spread over two sessions on 3 & 17 October, we’ll explore what makes us human, using Rutger Bregman’s 2019 book Humankind, A Hopeful History as the springboard for discussion. This remarkable book is a powerful declaration of faith in the innate goodness and natural decency of human beings. It challenges us to see humanity from a fresh perspective.
November: CHINESE THINKING
On 7 & 21 November we’ll look at Chinese philosophy. China is the dominant power in our region and our major trading partner. So our future is closely linked to theirs. But what do we really understand of how the Chinese think?
