Organization: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. Pub philosophy is generally considered a form of philosophy cafe. Among the more long-standing of these are:

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]
