We blend philosophy, humour, science, and wisdom to navigate today's complex world.
Ten voices explore one timeless question: If history was a poem, what does it mean?
Each thinker improvises, tracing how the past, present, and future resonate through art, poetry, and philosophy.
From Shelley's Ozymandias to van Gogh's search for beauty, from ancient wisdom to modern thought, this series reveals how imagination reshapes memory and art transforms our understanding of time. Join us for ten luminous reflections on the poetry of history - where wonder, wisdom, and warning intertwine.
This in-person course will be held at the Cultural Hub, Woollahra Gallery at Redleaf.
Welcome to the Woollahra Philosophy Club where all things of a philosophical nature are considered. Listen and learn, discuss and debate. Hosted by Woollahra Council, in partnership with the Workers' Educational Association (WEA) Sydney, we invite you to participate. It's fun, it's friendly, it's fulfilling - it's philosophical!
