About us
We're a local reading group dedicated to exploring the core texts of Western philosophy. Whether you're a seasoned reader of the classics or just curious about the Great Conversation, join us as we dive into the texts of the canon and its critics, share a few snacks, and engage in some good-natured discussion that (hopefully) changes us for the better.
We abide by SOPHIA's (Society of Philosophers in America) Core Values:
I) Building philosophical community and engagement – Philosophy is for everyone.
II) Philosophical inclusiveness – Philosophers learn from others.
III) Respectful communication – Everyone has a voice.
IV) Professional excellence and public relevance – Philosophy goes beyond the realm of academia.
