    Philosophy Street

    Philosophy Street – the anthropic universe, with Clive Lamond

    diningout
    Man is the measure of all things: of things which are, that they are, and of things which are not, that they are not.’ — Protagoras, Greek Philosopher 490–420 BC

    Come and talk to strangers at a conversation dinner with a theme gently steered by a philosopher over delicious steaming tajines at Meeka Restaurant in Subiaco. This season, Philosophy Street takes you for a look at the idea of an anthropic universe: a world set up so that human beings could eventually emerge. So many physical constants, so many aspects of our solar system, so much seems to be finely tuned for our benefit. What are the implications of a universe that seems exquisitely designed for us to exist?

    Fee includes dinner, and a cash bar is available.

    Tuesday February 8, from 6.30-9pm the cost is $109.00

    Venue: Meeka Restaurant, 361 Rockeby Rd, Subiaco

    This is a UWA Extension Course and you must book here.
