Pub Philosophy

Pub Philosophy is a term sometimes used to describe organised gatherings in public houses for philosophical discussion.^[1] Several series of events in the United Kingdom and elsewhere offer pub philosophy in a variety of formats, typically involving an invited speaker and some degree of open discussion. Among the more long-standing of these are:

• Big Ideas (based in London, UK) https://web.archive.org/web/20100912055756/http://bigi.org.uk/
• Kant's Cave (held in London, UK, by Philosophy For All)
• Living Philosophy (based in Tintern, Wales UK)
• PhiloMadrid (based in Madrid, Spain)
• Philosophy In Pubs (based in Liverpool, UK) http://www.philosophyinpubs.co.uk
• PIPS Brighton (based in Brighton, UK) http://www.pips-brighton.org.uk/
• The Stoa (based in Faversham, Kent, UK)
• Skeptics in the Pub
• Thinking While Drinking (based in San Diego, California) http://thinkingwhiledrinking.org

Pub Philosophy groups, while often run by amateurs, have sometimes been recruited by more mainstream institutions to provide a distinctively participatory public forum. Such alliances have included Tate Liverpool and University of Chester working with Philosophy in Pubs,^[2] the Brighton Science Festival 2010 working with PIPS Brighton^[3] and the London School of Economics producing an event in collaboration with Big Ideas.^[4]
