School of Philosophy, Cambridge

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.
