What is Objectivity? A philosophic deep dive.
Details
What is Objectivity and is it possible to achieve?
This week we'll take a deep dive to define what premises underlie the concept of Objectivity in each of the five branches of philosophy.
- Metaphysics (the nature of reality)
- Epistemology (the means of knowledge)
- Ethics
- Politics
- Aesthetics (art)
After the event, any interested guests will be invited to continue the conversation at a nearby restaurant.

Our Meetup location, Le Pain Quotidien, is a private business; so that our group remains welcome, please don't arrive with beverages purchased from outside, and please be willing to purchase at least one beverage and/or menu item from our waitress (rather than on the way in).
AN IMPORTANT NOTICE REGARDING NO-SHOWS
Unfortunately, there is a longstanding problem in our group with large numbers of people who sign up frivolously and neither cancel nor show up, leading to large waiting lists of others who lose their opportunity to attend. Please note that going forward, those who sign up and neither cancel nor show up or habitually cancel at the last minute will be permanently removed from the group. If you need to cancel, please have the courtesy to give at least 24 hours' advance notice so those on the waiting list have an opportunity to attend.
