Formal seminars and conferences
In addition to the general day to day discourse there are, from time to time, formal seminars given by professional philosophers, scientists and other academics, offering a structured and authoritative environment for acquiring a deeper understanding of important philosophical issues. (However, lunch, dinner and good wine are never far away, excellent methods to compensate the body for suffering the effects of attending a seminar).

The general visitor is welcome to attend formal seminars and us encouraged to to plan visits to coincide with these since there will be opportunity enough to engage in profitable discourse at accessible levels. Indeed to attend the formal seminars and conferences no professional or other qualification is necessary except an inclination to learning and sharing worthwhile knowledge at all levels.
