Hi, welcome to this gathering place for all philosophers, by which
I mean anyone who wants to rationally and rigorously pursue the truth.
My name is Lau Kwong Fook, and I am
hosting this cafe (since October 2003) because I have made it my life purpose to create gardens of rational thought in the
jungle of irrationality that surrounds us. I hold an MA in Philosophy, and an MBA from the University of Canterbury; I taught
Philosophy for several years in University of Singapore, Joint Campus, National University of Singapore, and American College.
Also, I have been a corporate animal for 25 years. This means I philosophise in a real world context, rather than just play
word games.
Philosophy cafe is ended -- it is impossible
to maintain a disciplined discussion.

A philosophy cafe is ...
- A place where all your ideas are taken seriously
- An adventure you should try at least once in your life.
- A time to wonder if unicorns are real
- A time to answer queries you never thought you had
- A chance to rediscover the child in you.
- A trek to explore the world of ideas.
- A time to reactivate a mind deadened by routine.
- A garden of reason in a jungle of pride and prejudices.
- A time when ignorance is an asset
- A chance to discover your own thoughts.
- A workout for your mind
- A chance to study life, death, between and beyond
- An opportunity to travel at the speed of thought
- An act that is better than sex -- and you don't have to be at least 16.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Philosophy cafe
is a concept, which means it is portable. Individuals, groups or organisations interested in experiencing it are welcome to
contact me to arrange for a free demonstration.
