Use your mind to think about what’s in your mind by taking part in a philosophy session with educational charity The Philosophy Foundation.
- Session 1 (ages 5-7): 10.30am – 11.30am
- Session 2 (ages 8-10): 11.45am – 12.45pm
HOLES will be the subject of this session while we discuss metaphysical questions about empty spaces and the nature of reality.
Can you have half a hole or is a hole only a hole when it is whole? Can you move a hole? Can you destroy a hole? Can you use a hole? And if a hole isn’t a thing how can you score in basketball?
And finally, will we finally be able to say how many holes it takes to fill the Albert Hall? See you there!
The Philosophy Foundation is a charity that aims to foster a culture of curiosity and wonder through philosophy. They believe that philosophy is not just a subject, but a way of life that can help people of all ages and backgrounds to think more clearly, creatively, and critically.
