The East Midlands Salon is committed to promoting the Enlightenment values of reason, truth and human progress. In 2019 we begin with two Salons on the British Enlightenment with a focus on Derby and the Midlands. Our third Salon will be a contemporary discussion of the possibility of humans colonising space.

Tickets are available on the door at £2 (a donation towards costs) or you can book all three for £5 here on Eventbrite.

Thursday 31 January - Professor Paul Elliott will discuss the Derby Philosophers and the British Enlightenment;

Thursday 28 February -Professor Jonathan Powers will talk about the leading thinkers and scientists of the Enlightenment in the Midlands;

Thursday 28 March - in the tradition of Enlightenment speculation, scientist and astronomer Dr Martin Braddock will probe 'The next step: Space Exploration and Colonisation.'

Further details and readings will soon be available on the East Midland Salon web site.
