After sell-out shows across London, New York and Melbourne, the Sophia Club returns once again to take audiences on an immersive journey of ideas, conversation and performance.

What’s wrong with death

Have we forgotten how to die well? Could we grieve better? Can philosophy help?

Death comes to the rational, striving mind as an affront and a foe. And in the absence of meaningful communal rituals to help us through this profound passage, many people are left feeling lost: alienated by their own mortality or the loss of someone they love. Philosopher Klaus Jahn and funeral director Kimba Griffith are joined by Butchulla Songman Fred Leone and host Natasha Mitchell to explore the meaning and potential of dealing more philosophically with death and dying. 

ABOUT SOPHIA CLUB

Everyone has a stake in philosophy; its vitality can be drawn out and re-energised through conversation, with each other, and the arts. The Sophia Club creates a space for people to come together, ponder big questions, encounter new perspectives, and appreciate the rich connections between thought, emotions and artistic expression. 

We call this space Live Philosophy.
