David Large is a freelance philosopher, champion of ecological theories and Wittgensteinian maverick who has studied, taught and hung around at London, Oxford and Newcastle Universities. His interests focus on mind, language and the formulation of a scientifically informed naturalistic philosophy.

David is a founder member of Newcastle Philosophy Society (NPS), a registered charity set up with the aim of facilitating the public understanding of philosophy in the North East. David says “The NPS does all sorts of stuff, so why not give it a try?”.

David Large has co-organised and taught on a number of The Great Debate day schools with a focus on evolution and the mind with Caspar Hewett, see Previous Events. They will be running a workshop entitled Progress of the Human Mind: From Enlightenment to Postmodernism in September 2008.
