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 Augustine's Confessions
Although prior reading is not required, we will explore Book 9 of Augustine’s Confessions for those who wish to delve deeper into the text. A number of participants will present and discuss themes and ideas from Book 9, offering a range of perspectives that enrich our collective understanding.
To further illuminate Augustine’s thoughts, we’ll take brief detours into the philosophies of Plato and Plotinus, providing valuable context.
This interactive session provides a great opportunity to reflect, share insights, and engage in meaningful dialogue with others. Each session stands alone, making it easy for newcomers to join. Best of all, it’s completely FREE!
Join us on a journey through the rich tapestry of thought, spanning from the late Greek and Roman eras to the dawn of early modern philosophy. Discover how ancient ideas laid the groundwork for the intellectual transformations that shaped the modern world.
Location: Café in Newcastle West, Fenham – contact David for more details.
