AWAKEN YOUR INNER PHILOSOPHER!
Everyone has an "inner philosopher" waiting to express itself. Whether your interest in philosophy is formal or casual, this group is for philosophy lovers of all persuasions (such as): Platonists or Aristotelians. Laissez-faire Randians or radical socialists. Mystics or scientific naturalists. Existentialists or....other existentialists. Philosophy is more than profoundly stimulating to the intellect, it can be just plain fun! Each meeting will have a lead question, topic, or philosophical quotation to get the conversation off to a running start. However, the meetings will not be highly structured and are designed to go with the flow of the dialogue and of the personalities in the group. We'll meet mostly at restaurants, cafes, and pubs and--when the topic and mood dictate--in classroom or seminar-like settings as well.

Socialism and libertarianism, beyond their doctrines, are also ideals. That both ideals are embraced by millions who otherwise seem to get along quite nicely may, perhaps, suggest that these two socio-political philosophies need not be trapped in a state of fixed polar opposition. Read more

“I tend to lean towards evolutionary psychology, religion, politics, economics, relationships, good and evil, can all be understood through theories of evolution of the brain. I value unique perspectives, thinking about things in a new way.”

“ Whether to join this meetup depends on what you're looking for. I didn't want to have to read a text because I have too much to read already. ...
