PHILOSOPHY SLAM: Where Deep Thoughts Meet Deep Laughs Tuesday 10th September 2024 - The Century, 61-63 Shaftesbury Ave W1 Ready for a night of brain-bending fun that’s sharper than a double-edged sword of wit? Come join us at the Philosophy Slam, where deep thoughts meet deep laughs, hosted by none other than philosophers Mark Vernon and Robert Rowland Smith. Imagine a world where existential dilemmas and moral quandaries are unpacked with the same fervour as a stand-up comedy routine – that’s what we’re serving up. You’ll laugh, you’ll think, and you’ll definitely question the meaning of everything. So grab a drink, bring your best ‘What’s the meaning of life?’ jokes, and prepare for an evening where Socrates meets sarcasm. It’s philosophy, but with a twist – because let’s face it, if you can’t laugh at the absurdity of existence, what can you laugh at? Disclaimer: The Philosophy Slam is not responsible for any existential crises, mind-altering revelations, or paradigm shifts that may occur as a result of attending this event. Please consult a philosopher if symptoms persist. Robert Rowland Smith is a British author and philosopher. His books include Derrida and Autobiography (Cambridge University Press, 1995), Breakfast with Socrates: The philosophy of everyday life (Profile Books, 2009) and AutoBioPhilosophy: An intimate story of what it means to be human (4th Estate, 2018). He is a regular speaker at public- and private events, addressing a wide range of topics that includes philosophy, psychology, politics and art. Mark Vernon is an author and known for contributing to and presenting programmes on BBC radio, writing for the UK national press notably the Guardian and the Church Times, as well as online publications like Aeon and podcasting, notably The Sheldrake-Vernon Dialogues with Rupert Sheldrake. He also publishes online talks such as How to See Spiritually and Philosophy as Awakening. |
