Jean Paul Sartre: "Existentialism is nothing else but an attempt to draw the full conclusions from a consistently atheistic position." http://bit.ly/6HbK0V Jean Paul Sartre: "Existentialism is not atheist in the sense that it would exhaust itself in demonstrations of the non-existence of God. It declares, rather, that even if God existed that would make no difference from its point of view. Not that we believe God does exist, but we think that the real problem is not that of His existence; what …

This group is also for those who know nothing about this type of music but who would like to explore "new" music - you might even get hooked on the wonders of polyphony and false relations (nothing to …

All evening you've shouted to the people next to you just to ask them their name and what they do for a living, you go home with ringing ears and then you get to a realization and now... you'd rather discover Picasso or go to a quiet restaurant or listen to some jazz or classical music and talk to the person opposite you. If so, this is the group for you. The idea is to find a peaceful place t …

The London Literary Salon draws on the Salon tradition of a regular meeting of a committed group of people for the exchange and exploration of ideas. The London Literary Salon (and its Paris counterpart) use the study of a great work of literature as a springboard to consider the wonder of the human experience–in all its raw and dynamic forms. The discussion resembles a seminar style study, but the emphasis is on what each participant brings to the conversation. The works of Joyce and Shakespear …

London has some great venues for classical music - the Royal Festival Hall being my own favourite.

The format is simple - show up in a corner of the bar from 30 minutes before and immediately after the event, lubricated as you feel appropriate. Find your kindred spirits and interact. If we ever require a recognition signal in a crowded place, then displaying th …

We each then go away and watch it in our own time before meeting up the following week to discuss it (and life in general) over a few drinks. As this is a brand new group any suggestions for locations welcomed. The idea is we will pick films by consensus but will have to see what works best. Personally I like a wide range of cinema but interested in Art-house world cinem …
