What we’re about
"Philosophy is at once the most sublime and the most trivial of human pursuits." ~William James
A community open to inquiring minds looking to explore philosophy through a variety of mediums - books, films, experiences, or even YouTube videos. Insights come in all shapes and forms, and can be integrated in a group setting. Join us weekly for an extended discussion and feel free to mingle in the social events.
Manifesto:
- Always bring a curious and open mind.
- Take ownership of the experience by being present and engaged.
- Challenge oneself and others through constructive criticism, open dialog, and reflection.
