What we’re about
The NPS is a registered charity welcoming everyone with an interest in philosophy, especially novices. It aims to promote philosophy education to the local public with meetings in pubs, cafes, and community centres.
There are various group leaders spanning very different approaches but all aim for interaction, sharing, and dialogue in a spirit of mature enquiry rather than debate. For one thing that philosophy tells us is that right answers are hard to find.

For any queries, please message B or Leigh, as messages to the user NPS are currently unmonitored.

Journey into Aquinas' Summa Theologica
No prior reading is required, but for those eager to dive deeper, we will explore Summa Theologica ST I, Q. 3, a. 1 – "Whether God Is a Body?"
Participants will present and discuss key themes from the text, offering a range of perspectives to enrich our collective understanding.To further illuminate Aquinas' ideas, we’ll take brief detours into the philosophies of Aristotle, Plato, and Plotinus, providing valuable context and historical depth.
This interactive session is a great opportunity to reflect, share insights, and engage in meaningful dialogue. Each session stands alone, making it easy for newcomers to join at any time. Best of all, it’s completely FREE!
Join us on a journey through the rich tapestry of thought, spanning from ancient Greece and Rome to the dawn of early modern philosophy.
Discover how these foundational ideas shaped the intellectual transformations that continue to influence the modern world.
