Philosophy in the Pub will critically engage with the 2024 theme of the Tamar Valley Peace Festival ‘Peace starts with me’, by discussing the topic, ‘The Ethics of Coercion’.
Discussions at Philosophy in the Pub are free ranging, broad and critical examinations of the topic at hand. Discussion on this theme may include (but are not be limited to):
1.What might ‘peace starts with me’ actually mean in practice?’
2.Can peace be consistently and/or ethically pursued by coercive means? and;
3.Is a peace achieved by coercion a peace worth having?
Philosophy in the Pub is a regular, monthly opportunity for members of the Launceston community to meet and discuss, in some depth, a philosophical topic of their own choosing.
