The Theosophical Society was formed in 1875 to promote an understanding of Esoteric Teachings. These teachings, sometimes called 'The Ageless Wisdom', which was previously only available to initiates in Secret Orders has found expression down the ages in philosophies, sciences, mysticism, religions and the arts.

The Theosophical Society, now active in over 50 countries, is composed of people belonging to any belief system or to none, who have an aspiration for truth.

Central to the concerns of Theosophy is the desire to promote understanding and brotherhood among people of all races, creeds and philosophies. Devotion to truth, love for all living beings and commitment to a life of altruism marks the true Theosophical Path.

LANGUAGE, PHILOSOPHY & SPIRITUALITY 05 February 2012  Sunday  14:00 - 16:30 Basil Youdell This lecture and discussion will explore the relationships between these three areas of human discourse and life. Are we Theosophists just as prone as the average Evangelical or Catholic of using a special 'religio-speak' or private language which we imagine refers to discreet ontological entities, objects or subjects which exist in a self-evident "out there"? What, if anything, can modern philosophy do to help us challenge our own comfortable assumptions. We shall be paying particular attention to the insights of the philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein and his assault on the language of descriptive realism. Basil Youdell is a priest in The Liberal Catholic Church Grail Community and former manager of the SPCK bookshop in London. He now works in a national museum. £7, £5 concessions. Arranged by The Theosophical Society in England’s London Regional Centre.
