“It is better to debate a question without settling it than to settle a question without debating it.” Joseph Joubert

Dine, Discuss, and Debate in a friendly environment!

Following the success of our Lunchtime Debating Club in Reading we’ve agreed to hold an evening event in Windsor. Come along and join in the discussion.

At our next meeting we’ll be discussing the following articles:

• The Evolutionary Origins of Morality by David Good
• Why do the increasing levels of inequality in the Western World present a threat to political stability? by Roger Heppleston

If you would like to join us, or to know more about the Debating Club, please email Reading Humanists at reading@humanistgroups.org.uk.

About Debating Club

The topics we’ll be discussing can be seen on the Reading humanists web page: Debating Club – Reading Humanists. You can also read previous contributions and make comments to join in the discussion.

We’ll be informally discussing ideas about human progress, social issues, and human fallibility. If you’re open minded, enjoy a good debate, and interested to learn from the ideas of others, come along to dine and discuss in a local pub. We believe that everyone has something valuable to contribute to the conversation and we would love for you to be a part of it.

The discussion will cover any socially relevant issue. Participants will decide on the topics for discussion based on their interests. From evolution to anthropology, from economics to psychology, from the environment to . . . anything that catches your interest.

If you want to contribute, we’d ask you to prepare something that has fired up your imagination. Contributions might be sharing ideas from a book or article you’ve read, or simply an idea that you’ve researched. Individuals will submit a written summary of their idea before the meal.

On the day, the group will question, debate, and assess the implications. If you want to come along to listen and comment, that’s fine too. The aim is to engage a group of like-minded people who enjoy understanding and challenging each other’s ideas.
