What weโre about
About Our Group ๐ โจ
Have you ever felt the urge to dive deeply into life's most profound questions? Are you drawn to thoughtful exploration, open dialogue, and intellectually stimulating conversations? If so, you're in the right place ๐
What We're About: ๐
Our group aims to cultivate a mature, intellectually enriching environment in Lagosโa quality setting for philosophical discourse, which currently doesn't exist in an openly discoverable format. Each month, we gather to explore philosophy in its wider ranges, delving into classic and contemporary works across various philosophical traditions. Every session focuses on readings from assigned authors, laying a structured yet dynamic foundation for discussion. ๐ง
While formal training in philosophy isn't necessary, we emphasize the importance of having a strong background or active interest in related fields such as literature, history, psychology, sociology, theology, or critical theory. This ensures robust, meaningful discussions that enrich our collective insights. ๐ฑ
Who We Are: ๐
We are a diverse assembly of intellectually curious individuals united by a shared passion for philosophical inquiry. Our members include professionals, academics, creatives, and thinkers from various walks of life, all bringing unique perspectives and insights to the table. ๐ก
