Philosophy Meetup

Today I attended a Philosophy meetup here in London, which was interesting. Here are some of the questions I’ll be proposing at future events:

Is empirical evidence important when making metaphysical claims?
Who is of more value to society – the philosopher of mind or the postman?
Is democracy a good thing?
Is this a question?
Is it important (or even possible) to maintain a fully consistent system of values and beliefs?
Are all ethical discussions a waste of time – literally academic – because when faced with actual situations we invariably act on gut feelings, usually in our own short term interests?
