About
Roy Sturgess

I was a career university professor who discovered philosophy in retirement. I know philosophy hasn't got the glamour status of meditation and I respect Yuval Noah Harari's advocacy of meditation, which allows him to spend time writing his books with an clear mind. But I would argue that philosophy has a greater power to challenge the fixed ideas and prejudices that cause us so much distress. I have been in the Saturday Group for 25 years. It is unusual because it encourages members to talk about their distress so we can philosophise the issues. I'd encourage anyone to seek out a group of mature discussants or to set up a group of their own.
