These are a series of very informal philosophical chats on occasional Wednesdays during Wednesday Tea Time. The idea is to present some aspect of work in progress by people in CPNSS which could do with critical commentary from others. Each chat runs from 4:00pm for half an hour or so, but never more than 45 minutes. They take place in LAK.T116, Centre Common Room.
