Conference 2019
On the theme of Love, our conference will be held at Chirnside Community Centre on Saturday 21st September, with Professor Simon May, author of Love, a History, of which the Financial Times wrote “May could just have achieved the seemingly impossible and produced a truly original philosophy of love … May is able to draw out what is true in each age’s perception of love, discard what is misleading, and synthesize the result into the most persuasive account of love’s nature I have ever read.”
