A Great Discussion Group

The next two sessions:

1st and 15th March 2011

2.15 p.m. – 4.15 p.m.

Methodist Hall, Neville Street,Ulverston.

At the meetings, which are held fortnightly throughout the year, we listen to a short presentation about the topic and then have an open discussion of the arising issues.

Reason

Here are a few questions that will get us thinking about the topic:

·      Do we really use reason to make most decisions?

·      Are reasoned decisions always the best  ones?                  

·      When the calm voice of reason is drowned out by screaming emotions, how can we make good decisions?

·      Why does one person's valuation of something influences others' perception?

·      Why is our attitude to risk often so unreasoned?

·      Does the excessive use of reason lead to a dehumanisation of everyday life?

·      What are the prospects for the future of our society when reason is so often ignored?

I'm going along with the question: "Are humans really 'reasonable' or are they really emotional beings using reason for support ?"

I find these discussions really helpful as they help me sort my ideas out in a world where there are no 'right' answers
