Please bring plate of vegetarian fare for a pot luck supper prior to:
7pm keynote - 'Inner Freedom as a Means and Goal' tthe Art of the Impossible
Throughout the works of Plato and his followers, as throughout the Vedas of ancient India, we can see a two-fold ethic: an ethic for all consisting of the practical virtues which are supposed to be the province of politics; and another for the philosopher, centred on the possibility of liberation or moksha. For the latter, the freedom that is essential above all else is inner freedom, an indispensable prerequisite if we are to be outwards free.
All welcome.- love to see you there :).
