This year for World Philosophy Day we marked the occasion with a cafe style dialogue on the theme of Towards Unity Through Diversity.

We had a full house for the event with an initial presentation on Confucian philosophy. Concepts around social harmony were shared with open questions about how to live harmoniously together in an increasingly fractured world.

Each table discussed these ideas in open dialogue and provided conclusions to their discussions. Many themes overlapped and one thing was clear, the experience was a microcosm of the idea itself, with each group being able to share the time and space together with generosity and honesty despite the diverse backgrounds.
