Practical Philosophy - SE London

As a centre for spiritual and practical knowledge, our aim is to help you see the world with new eye Self-knowledge is available to everyone.

Practical Philosophy teaches self-knowledge and brings mindfulness into daily life. This leads to a deeper understanding of ourselves and the world around us. In turn, this enables us to better deal with difficult situations and to make wise choices. In essence it is an awareness of the present moment, in which we can experience the world within and around us as an observer. This has a powerful effect, promoting a healthy attitude to daily living which enables us to focus our efforts and energies wisely. Life is seen in a new perspective, bringing a greater sense of inner-calm, happiness and well-being. The start of this journey begins with awareness, pure awareness. Being mindful of what is going on around us and in the mind. This is only possible in the present moment. If dwelling on or in the past, dreaming or worrying about the future, we are not present, only absent or absent-minded. This is the point at which we embark, and invite you to join us on an introductory course. The point from which we will explore the ocean of possibilities for returning to the present moment. In practice, gentle awareness exercises and helpful reminders set us on course for mindful self-exploration.

Our Story

The School of Philosophy and Economic Science Croydon & Bromley was established in 1976, as a Branch of the School of Philosophy and Economic Science which itself began in 1937. (Originally called The School of Economic Science, the name has been recently changed to more accurately reflect the range of courses we offer.)

The School is a registered educational charity. It has numerous branches around Great Britain and there are affiliated Schools in many countries around the world.

The School is a centre of spiritual and practical knowledge and enquiry. Through the courses, activities and events offered it aims to help people lead a full and useful life through a better understanding of themselves and the world around, and thereby to contribute positively to society at large. The main subject explored in the School today is practical, living philosophy, based on the eastern teaching of Advaita (“not two”), which points to the unity underlying all phenomena.

The practice of Mindful Awareness is fundamental to the application of the teaching in daily life.

What is the Way of Practical Philosophy?

It is a practical, non-academic approach to the fundamental questions of life. Questions such as ‘Who am I?’, ‘What is this world we live in?’ and ‘What is my relationship to this world?’ It harnesses the ideas of some of the great teachings of humanity and uses simple mindful techniques that lead to a more conscious way of living. This in turn brings a greater sense of freedom and happiness.

The Way of Practical Philosophy is for everyone, regardless of race, education, occupation, political or religious belief. It is designed to be of direct use in our everyday lives. The intention is to stimulate enquiry and through this expand the way we look at the world and ourselves, conferring happiness and freedom.

The aim is to live a true and happy life. By understanding ourselves and the world around us we naturally find balance, harmony and awareness in our daily lives and connect with a deeper sense of who we are and thereby gain access to inner energy and happiness that we may not have been aware of before.

Come along to one of our introductory ten-week courses in Practical Philosophy starting three times a year and following the standard academic terms.

Further courses are available after the Introductory Course for those who wish to explore the subject in more depth. Termly themes include Wisdom, Happiness, Love, Presence of mind and Freedom. Studies extend to and include the introduction of meditation.
