* PIP's are groups of like-minded people searching for philosophical stimulation in a relaxed atmosphere (i.e. pubs, bistros, coffee shops, bookstores & community centres). There are a number of venues in and around Liverpool (...where PiPS originated) and a growing number across the UK. Groups are run on a weekly or monthly basis.

For a short audio introduction to Philosophy in Pubs, it's origins and vision listen here:

Everyone has Philosophical thoughts and as a group we would like to hear yours - whoever you are, wherever you're from and whatever they may be!

The enquiries are relaxed with groups large enough to enjoy a number of diverse opinions, yet small enough to allow each person time to put their views across. As a contributor you can schedule your own subjects for enquiry and debate. Alternatively, just turn up and listen to the thoughts of others.

Respect for others and their opinions are a fundamental requirement of the group as it encourages people to put forward their views without fear of ridicule or intimidation.

No academic or philosophical background is necessary, only a passion for enquiry. Just turn up and enjoy.
