SUMMARY:The Platonic Tradition on freewill- an open session in Manchester
DESCRIPTION:Plato’s philosophy can be characterised as a guide to the car
 e of the soul – a self-care which is unselfish and generous. All this hi
 nges on the soul’s essential nature as self-motive. Although living in a
  complex world in which one thing acts and reacts on another\, the inner l
 ife of the soul\, according to the Platonic tradition\, gives us a still p
 lace to stand above the whirl of worldly events. The cultivation of wisdom
  allows the soul to discover its true agency\, even in the midst of that o
 uter whirl. We will explore.\n\nPlease download a copy of the paper we'll 
 be drawing from here: The Platonic Tradition considers Freewill (copies wi
 ll be available if you can't print it out).\n\nThis event is free but dona
 tions are encouraged\, circumstances allowing. We’ll start the session a
 t 6.30pm - please come to the top floor of the pub on arrival. No need to 
 book.\n\nThese evenings include short talks and/or readings from Platonic 
 writings – but we hope they will be genuinely interactive\, with all par
 ticipants invited to contribute to our collaborative search for truth. No
  previous experience of formal philosophy is required. Every effort is mad
 e to make these type of evenings accessible to the newcomer\, while allowi
 ng the great profundity of the Platonic tradition to step forward and spea
 k to us at whatever level our present understanding sits.\n\nPlease click 
 here to download the study paper that we will use for the basis of our exp
 loration of this subject: coming soon.
