Attend Public Lectures
For 15 years the tutors in the School have presented talks to the public throughout Ireland showing the application of practical philosophy to a variety of topics and problems that we meet in everyday life. These have proved to be immensely popular.
Tutors present a Spring, Summer and Winter series of lectures. This summer we examine such important issues as Suffering, Adversity, Unconditional Love, Change, the Power of Speech, Good Company, Knowledge, True Confidence, True Independence, the Immortality of the Soul and Caring for Yourself.
You are invited to attend what is a challenging look at these important subjects in the light of Practical Philosophy.
