Philo Agora's talk next Tuesday, May 11 will be Jonathan
McKeown: Philosophy in Everyday Life
Jonathan presently runs Status Flow Plumbing based in Ashbury. He
will talk about some philosophical approaches and practices he has
found most beneficial for everyday living.
He resigned as an evangelical youth minister in 1991 feeling that the
foundations of his beliefs had eroded. He then decided to study
psychology and enrolled in an Arts degree, but after a year of psych
studies at the University of Q. found deeper personal questionings
pulled him in other directions. He graduated with a double major in
Contemporary Studies in Religion and a third major in Philosophy. He
completed an Honours research degree on Nietzsche and was awarded a
university scholarship to complete a PhD (which he did not do). He
has told us that his knowledge of philosophy influences him almost
daily . This talk tells us how.
Jonathan intends to look at a very practical philosopher , Jesus
Christ, whose ethics are very much based in the "everyday". He will
be focusing on the teaching of the Sermon on the Mount. Jonathan
assures us , however, that his talk will not be a sermon.
