Philosophy Cafe - Film Evening
When: Thursday 30th September 2010 - 7.30-9.30 pm
Where: Milkwood Gallery, 41 Lochaber St, Roath, Cardiff
Philosophy Cafe is a space for sharing and exploring ideas, which affirms that we are all philosophers, even if we don't quite know it yet. On the third Tuesday of each month, join us in the Cafe Bar at The Gate to listen as speakers introduce insights and invite us to address key problems. The emphasis is on joining in.
Philosophy Cafe starts from the assumption that everyone's viewpoint is potentially a source of illumination. Our ethos is therefore that all opinions are entitled to respect, and that open, friendly discussion, disagreement, and debate is the best way to show them that respect.
Bring an open mind along, and change the way you see the world.

Beyond the Tipping Point
dir. Stefan Skrimshire (UK 2010, 30 mins)
How does the way we imagine the future change how we think and act today?
Beyond The Tipping Point invites us to consider this question by exploring attitudes to climate change. The imagery of "tipping points", drawn originally from scientific research, has increasingly influenced the way politicians, activists, and journalists imagine how greenhouse gas emissions might have irreversible and unpredictable effects on global climate.
But what effect might this way of thinking about the future have on the prospects for mitigating climate change now? Does it galvanise action, or induce despair?
Join us at Milkwood Gallery for a screening of the film, followed by discussion of the issues it raises, and beginning with a wine reception at 7.30pm.
