Debate: Free Will vs. Determinism

FREE FOOD and NON-ALCOHOLIC DRINKS for members!*

Public speaking optional

How it will work:

  1. Pick whichever side you want
  2. We split into teams to discuss various arguments before dinner is served.
  3. After dinner, a few people volunteer to represent their team for the debate.
  4. Bell To Be Confirmed (Pavlov’s dog puns welcome on the night)

No assumed knowledge

Most club members don’t even formally study philosophy – the common factor is having fun exploring ideas. They could be old, they could be new – they could be old in a new form. It doesn’t matter. You won’t be expected to know any big names or important books. This topic is accessible to all.

If you would like to explore the issue in your own time, leading up to the event, check out these recommended sources:

WHEN: 5:30 PM, Friday 18th October
