The People’s Forum: What is Truth?

What is truth? Is it something we discover, something we create, or simply a matter of perspective? How do we know when a belief is true and can we ever be certain?

Join us for the next installment of The People’s Forum, where we’ll explore one of the most fundamental questions in philosophy and everyday life. From scientific facts and historical accounts to personal experiences and deeply held convictions, our understanding of truth shapes how we navigate the world. Together, we’ll examine different theories of truth, the challenges of certainty and skepticism, and why this ancient question remains so relevant today.

No philosophy background required… just curiosity, a willingness to think deeply, and maybe a drink in hand. Come listen, question, and discuss in a relaxed, welcoming setting where big ideas meet good conversation.
