The School
of Philosophy, Cambridge
The School of Philosophy, Cambridge
was started in The 1990s to provide a convenient way for people in and
around Cambridge
to study Practical Philosophy. It was formed as a branch of the School of Economic Science
in London.
It is based on the concept that, since the ideas held by individuals are of
profound importance in shaping their lives, understanding the true
principles which underlie them is of benefit for everyone.
The method of enquiry used is based on a well-known principle
that real understanding arises only through practical experience. Each
student is therefore encouraged neither to accept
nor reject the philosophical principles of the East and West that are set
before them, but to put them into practice and evaluate their worth on the
basis of what they find.
Students in the school meet each week in discussion groups
with a tutor, who is also a student of the school. None of the tutors
receive any payment for teaching; their time is given freely.
