Courses to expand your world and your thinking.

We are an Educational Charity running courses in "Practical Philosophy" in the Kingston & Richmond area and you are warmly invited to attend one of our 10 week introductory courses.

What is a "Practical Philosophy" course? It is an enjoyable and fulfilling course in timeless practical wisdom. Philosophy means the love of wisdom and applies to all people for all time, including people like you and me. It is mainly practical and students explore great philosophical principles based on personal experience.

What kind of Philosophy is it? The "Practical Philosophy" course is inspired by the philosophy of Advaita (Non-duality or Oneness), and embraces a wide range of philosophers, thinkers and writers. It has survived through an unbroken tradition passing from teacher to student since time immemorial.

Who is it for? Everyone, the courses are open to all including all age groups, cultures and religions or no religion. No prior knowledge is required.

How might I benefit? You may get to know yourself better and enjoy yourself more. You will enjoy the good company of like-minded people. Learning what it means to live fully in the present moment is a significant benefit. Some students attend just for one term and others stay for many years to deepen their study, attend further classes, practise meditation and apply the lessons of philosophy in daily life.

About the School. The Fellowship of the School of Economic Science is a registered educational charity regulated by the Charity Commission and was founded in 1937. The original subject taught by the School was economics. In the 1950s philosophy became the main study and has remained so ever since. For further details about the School in London please follow the link "About the School". The Kingston Branch was established in 1994 and the courses it runs are the same as those run in the main school in London.
