A philosophy of harmony and one-ness Using the mindful practices of
philosophical traditions across the world to make life more satisfying,
interesting and fulfilling The School of Philosophy Cambridge was started in The
1990s to provide a convenient way for people in Cambridgeshire to explore
Practical Philosophy. It was formed as a branch of The School of Philosophy and
Economic Science in London See the bottom of this page for some thoughts from
current students. The method used is based on a well-known principle that real
understanding arises only through practical experience. Each student is
therefore encouraged neither to accept nor reject the Philosophical principles
of the East and West that are set before them, but to put them into practice and
evaluate their worth on the basis of what they find. The Philosophical
traditions from which this approach to Philosophy is drawn are far reaching;
from Plato, Socrates and the Stoics, to Zen and the Advaita Philosophy of India,
up to contemporary Philosophic thinking Students at The School of Philosophy
Cambridge meet each week in discussion groups with a tutor, who is also a
student of the school. None of our Philosophy tutors receive any payment for
teaching; their time is given freely.
