August 2. Peter Bowden will talk on Existentialism
Drawing on Kierkegaard, Camus, Sartre and others, Peter Bowden examines the underpinnings to this philosophy, in asking the question on what is behind our existence. Whether we indeed have a purpose, or whether we are simply evolutionary accidents, leading largely to the "meaninglessness" of life, to adopt a Camus term. A continual perusal of the daily news will certainly convince the reader that life is 'absurd' . Peter explores diverse streams to this philosophy, joined by a common but not universal belief in the non-existence of God, to asses those streams that appear to offer some coherence.
