Three Salons on the Enlightenment

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 discussed 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 18 April - 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.
