ANVIL    Programme for 2017

This year we have again a strong programme of six challenging subjects and because we have two heavily committed outside speakers, days and dates have had to be moved to include one session on a Thursday.  It should however be well worth it.

January 11 (WED)  Dr Derek Hudson.  An Examination of the arguments for the Polaris Nuclear Weapon.

March 14 (Tue) Dominic Lacey.  Plato’s teaching on “Anacyclosis – the theory of political evolution and its relevance today”.

May 17 (Wed) John Baxter.  Rabbi Yeshua (Jesus) and the Buddhist Tradition compared and contrasted.

July 11 (Tues) Graham Stride.  The Legacy of Darwin.

Sept 20th (Wed.)  Julie Arliss.  A Look at the Philosophy of Time.   This is a subject Julie has been working on to present in her Academy conferences.

November 16 (Thurs)  Jonathan Pearce.  Free Will.  Is it an Illusion?  This is a topic which Jonathan has studied carefully and written a book on it. https://www.amazon.co.uk/d/Books/Free-Will-investigation-whether-always/0956694802
