Kant's Cave
On the first Monday of every month the PFA meets at Kant's Cave at 7.30 pm for a lecture, debate and social evening. This usually takes place in the upstairs bar at the Two Chairmen, 39 Dartmouth Street, SW1H 9BP.
Kant's Cave is on Zoom also, for people who don't live in London or prefer to join the meeting that way; click on the title of the lecture and you will be taken to our Meetup page, and you can join the lecture from there.

Kant's Cave lectures 2026
‘Value’ is one of those loaded words we encounter every day. Value pops up in conversations between mathematicians (‘the value of x’), priests and philosophers (‘moral values’), politicians (‘British values’), economists (‘value as distinct from price’), artists (‘is beauty a bourgeois value?’) ...
Across its countless uses, does the word refer to a common quality? If it exists, where is the ‘valueness’ in value – as there would be a Hegelian ‘redness’ in all the appearances of red in the world? Is value a subjective judgement, anything that floats my boat? Or do values exist independently of any valuer’s opinion, for instance residing in nature, or in God’s plan for it? Or are values constructed, arising from human practices, conventions, and rational agreements? If so, could we ever construct a set of values around which to reconcile humanity?
We live in a time when the most established values our parents and grandparents lived by – human dignity, individual rights, democracy, social justice, truth and beauty… – are contested or ignored. Does it mean that the notion of value itself is obsolete, or that we simply don’t understand it?
Christian Michel is a journalist, essayist, who teaches economics at City Lit and has been a frequent speaker at Kant’s Cave over the years.

Film Club
PFA Film Club hosts free screenings of thought-provoking films, followed by a discussion about the raised philosophical issues, for general public.

3-A-Day Book Club
Join the 3-A-Day Book Club, led by PFA President Anja Steinbauer. It is a PFA initiative which is an opportunity to discuss literature from a philosophical point of view. The idea is to roughly read roughly 3 pages a day, and exchange some ideas about the material. Our third text will be George Eliot's "Middlemarch", and we are starting on October 18, 2025, aiming to read one chapter every two days, have an (optional) weekly zoom discussion on Sundays, 6-7pm UK, as well as an interactive padlet for ongoing philosophical discussions.
If you’d like to join the book club (at any point while it is active, no need to be in from the start), please, get in touch, and we'll share the padlet and zoom details.

To register for a taster session (FREE, one per child) and/or further (paid) weekly sessions (and vote for your preferred regular time slot) fill this form. The price is GBP 10 per session per child. Special price for PFA financial members - GBP 8 per session per child.
Feedback from a pre-launch taster session: "Margot was buzzing afterwards. Dinner chat was a lot higher brow than normal. I always thought you should wait till you tackle philosophy but I can totally see how these extra thinking tools are possibly even more useful at her age." (father of 9 year old Margot, first-time philosopher)
About Alexandra Konoplyanik:

She has a Master's degree in Philosophy from the London School of Economics and has taught at a number of private and state schools in London and Moscow.

Alexandra has been Secretary of PFA since 2024.
About 'The Little Prince':
The Little Prince (French: Le Petit Prince) is a novella written and illustrated by French writer Antoine de Saint-Exupéry. It was first published in 1943 and is one of the best-selling books in history. The story follows a young prince who visits various planets, including Earth, and addresses themes of loneliness, friendship, love, and loss. Despite its style as a children's book, The Little Prince makes observations about life, adults, and human nature.
