What we’re about

Grounded Ideas is a monthly book club focused on practical philosophy. It grew out of Amsterdam’s thriving community of philosophy enthusiasts.

We prepare for each meeting by reading a philosophical text beforehand, sticking to original works. To make it doable, we usually read ~30 pages as preparation. This is plentiful for a two-hour discussion.

The group's repertoire so far consists of writings in political philosophy, Eastern philosophy, and philosophical novels.

We are happy to welcome everybody, regardless of background and experience — if our format suits you, join us! Your curiosity is all we need :)
