Thought Experiments

In this session, we explored classic philosophical puzzles like the Ship of Theseus, the Trolley Problem, and Mary’s Room. Together, we’ll unpack these mind-bending thought experiments, explore the big questions they raise, and spark meaningful conversations. The questions are available here.

Participants were joined in a neutral, welcoming space designed to encourage open dialogue and self-reflection. Whether you are a seasoned philosopher or simply someone who enjoys deep conversations, this is an opportunity to share your perspectives and listen to diverse viewpoints from fellow curious minds.

Since the weather was nice, we finished the meetup with a group photo outside!

The event took place at BRIG Café at The Warehouse, located in the Birmingham city centre. The ambiance was perfect for connecting with others who, like you, are searching for deeper understanding and meaningful connections.
