SUMMARY:Charles Peirce's "Quasi Mind": What Is It\, How Do We Access It and What Does It Reveal?
DESCRIPTION:Charles Peirce was a scientist\, mathematician\, Pragmatist philosopher\, and leader of a group of Harvard scholars known as the Metaphysical Club\, which included the psychologist William James. \nHis thought is dense and has been little understood in the 20th century\, Bertrand Russell called him “one of the most original minds of the later nineteenth century and certainly the greatest American thinker ever”. His learning was vast\, covering epistemology\, semiotics\, philosophy of science and logic. For those interested in Laws of Form\, Charles Peirce had some influence on George Spencer-Brown’s discovery of that mysterious non-entity\, the idea of the “first distinction”. \nThe talk is led by Dr. Gareth Abrahams who researches the relationship between philosophy and spatial theory. His approach draws together a detailed and intricate reading of philosophical texts whilst working as a practising architect. \nHe has published extensively in the field of philosophy and its relation to architecture\, art\, and planning. This includes a monograph with Routledge and articles in Deleuze and Guattari Studies. He is currently working on a forthcoming monograph of Charles Peirce with Edinburgh University Press focused Charles Peirce using detailed drawings and diagrams to illustrate some of his more obtuse ideas. \nEntry is £5. The talk begins at 18:30\, we kindly ask you to arrive on time so that we can start without further disturbance

SUMMARY:The Prometheus Trust: Plato the Orphic Philosopher?
DESCRIPTION:Although modern rationalist scholarship has been reluctant to acknowledge how much Orphic material underpinned the philosophy of Plato\, references to Orphic myth and cult teachings can be found throughout his writings. The Orphic Derveni manuscript is a relatively recent find which has ensured that Orphism is now more fully recognized as playing a part in the development of western thought and many of the most recent scholars are beginning to challenge this neglect. Writers such as Radcliffe Edmonds\, Gabor Betech\, Fritz Graf and others have published important works exploring the Orphic teachings and their appearance in Plato’s dialogues and the Prometheus Trust is about to publish Harold Tarrant’s book Chaerephon: Rethinking Platonic Characters in the Light of the Derveni Papyrus. \nThis session is an opportunity to explore how much the Orphic mystery teachings colour Platonic doctrines of reincarnation\, salvation\, and enlightenment. We will look at an outline of the Orphic myths\, and read some passages from the Phaedo\, the dialogue (along with the Meno) where Plato is most explicit as regards his debt to “wise priests and priestesses” when it comes to understanding the soul’s relationship to its beyond-terrestrial experiences.
