What we’re about
After successfully launching two philosophy meetups with a combined membership of over 2000 people we will now launch another here in Melbourne. Philosopher's hangout is a meetup open to absolutely everyone.
Each week we meet in a cafe environment to explore topics meaningful to all of humanity. We focus our conversation around a specific question with the aim of reasoning better together, going beyond our own biases and getting somewhere new. We encourage everyone to join in the discussion - but there's no obligation to do so.
We aim to minimise rules (like turn taking and not speaking over one another). Instead, we encourage the individual and group to keep the discussion alive and coherent, regulated by experienced moderators. We also hope to experiment with some different formats - to see what is possible and compelling in philosophy meetups.
