Otherwise we can become complacent and assume we don’t need to reflect on or question our moral intuitions, possibly leading to unethical decisions.  

This special Tune Up workshop will help you road test your intuitions and your favourite ethical frameworks by putting them through an obstacle course of the most famous – and most curly – thought experiments ever devised by philosophers, from the trolley dilemma to the experience machine to the utility monster and more. Don’t miss out on an unforgettable night that will be equal parts infuriating, enlightening and fun. 

You’ll share the session with other curious participants, who are willing to delve deeper into the mess and complexity of what it means to be human. 

Places are limited to ensure everyone can participate.

So, tune in to tune up and hopefully we can all do life just that little bit better.

Facilitated by leading philosopher Dr Tim Dean, these two-hour workshops will be equally enjoyable and informative as they help you navigate today’s complex ethical terrain and guide you towards living a good life. There are no prerequisites to join!

“Very interactive, lots of examples to ponder.” 

“I feel I now have a framework and a tool kit for considering how to act and an awareness of how easy it is to make ill-considered decisions. I would like to be able to use this tool kit to find answers to ethical dilemmas in the future that are right for me.” 

“[I enjoyed] the thought-provoking content and willingness of audience to participate and engage. Dr Tim Dean was an engaging speaker, skilfully covering the material and always responding to audience comments in respectful, friendly and thoughtful way.”
