The London School of Continental Philosophy is driven by the need for a dedicated space for adult learners in London to engage critically with continental philosophy outside the structures of the university system.

The school was founded by Dr. Daniel Weizman, who holds a PhD from the renowned Centre for Research in Modern European Philosophy (CRMEP). His doctoral research focused on the philosophy of Gilles Deleuze. Daniel specializes in 20th and 21st century Continental Philosophy, with particular emphasis on major thinkers such as Deleuze, Michel Foucault, Louis Althusser, Jacques Derrida, Alain Badiou and Slavoj Žižek.

He has taught extensively in adult education programmes across London, offering face-to-face philosophy courses in Central London. His in-person seminars centre on close reading of key philosophical texts and critical discussion in a collaborative setting. His teaching style is rooted in an interdisciplinary and accessible approach, encouraging students to actively engage with complex Continental thought and to explore its relevance to critical theory, cultural studies, aesthetics, technology, and contemporary politics.

The school offers a programme of in-person seminars, designed for both newcomers and advanced learners seeking a rigorous and engaging alternative to academic philosophy in London. In the longer term, we aim to grow beyond the seminar room by curating a programme of public events and talks that bring the wider London community into dialogue with contemporary European philosophy. In parallel, we are laying the groundwork for a  journal that will publish original contributions from early-career academics based in London, shaped by an editorial ethos of rigour, openness and experiment.
