Overview
Throughout 2024, we are running a public philosophy salon at the Wansha Performing Arts Centre. We meet every month on a Saturday afternoon to talk about philosophy and daily life in English and Chinese.
Embark on a journey to explore the world’s philosophical traditions, discover the insights of philosophers and discuss life’s deepest and most enduring problems! The Wansha / Wind&Bones philosophy salon creates a space for shared discussion, delving into the insights of philosophers to understand how philosophy can help us live wiser and happier lives.
This philosophy salon series is co-hosted by the Wansha Performing Arts Center (Taiwan) and Wind&Bones (UK) and meets once a month for ten consecutive months to explore ten topics, hosted by Wind&Bones’s very own Dr. Will Buckingham (Bai Zhongxiu 白忠修). It’s 100% free to attend.
