To bring together philosophy enthusiasts; to inspire, strengthen and promote philosophical activity i PHILOSOPHY SHARING is a registered foundation.

It was established by public deed on 21 May 2012, and it operates on a national basis. The original idea came from Professor Peter Serracino Inglott (1936-2012), a renowned Maltese philosopher who, back in the seventies, had revolutionised the study of philosophy in Malta. Serracino Inglott envisaged the organisation as an open space for philosophical discussion and learning which is accessible to the general public. Though the idea had been extensively discussed in private with Serracino Inglott, the first steps towards the establishment of the foundation were only begun after his unexpected death. These first steps were taken in March 2012 by a select group of philosophy academics and enthusiasts who came together to draw up the foundation's Constitution. After working together for two months, they brought their labour to fruition by legally establishing the organisation. A month later, following much internal work, the first activity was held. From then onwards, activities continued to be held regularly.

What happens when we try to see the world “objectively”?

Trying to be objective can make us more just and considerate of others' perspectives, but it can also make us lose touch with what matters.

In this recent Annual Philosophy Lecture for Philosophy Sharing Malta , Philosophy Now Founder Rick Lewis explores a tension at the heart of philosophical thinking: what happens when we step back from our own point of view in the name of objectivity? (And is that even possible?)

In The Third Man, Orson Welles' character looks down from above and sees people as mere dots. His indifference underpins decisions that cost lives - in exchange for profit. From that distance, the moral weight seems to disappear.

Lewis challenges that detachment and argues that striving for objectivity is about enlarging human perspective rather than abandoning it.

The full lecture - What Is A Point of View? - ranges across ethics, consciousness, time, free will, and knowledge, drawing on Thomas Nagel, Hans-Georg Gadamer, and Robert Nozick to explore how subjective and objective viewpoints can conflict, and how they might be reconciled.
