Who am I?
What is this universe?
What is my relationship to it?

Answers to these fundamental questions are said to be the key to living a true and happy life, and to open the door to all other knowledge.

The School of Philosophy offers practical courses that present the great teachings of the world in a manner that is relevant to one’s daily life. Philosophy is not a lofty academic study, but is rather an immediate, relevant and practical discovery of ourselves and the world in which we live.

How can the soul which misunderstands itself have a sure idea of other creatures?. Seneca

The School is not a religious organisation. It was incorporated in 1956 and is a registered educational charity. It is run by its senior students and no-one receives any financial benefit. It exists so that philosophy can be available to everyone in the most practical and accessible way.
