This is philosophy but not as you know it. Throw yourself into a free flowing evening of improvisation where two leading philosophers will riff on whatever you want to ask about, from ant-eating to zabaglione.
Sometimes deadly serious, sometimes very funny, this evening is a chance to help steer a random course through the history of ideas. It will bring you unexpected discoveries from philosophy, psychology, literature and art that might just answer what you always wanted to know.
Look out for future dates and come back again. The Philosophy Slam is never the same twice.
ABOUT SPECIAL EVENTS
