What we’re about
We expose the public to ideas and invite them to think about them. We encourage people to enquire philosophical questions with others.
The Philosopher’s Hat Club invites participants to put their thinking cap or philosopher’s hat on and once a month engage in a meaningful and facilitated online conversation, about the world we live in, with other participants, making philosophy more accessible. And have fun, of course! No philosophical background is required! All welcome!
Our guests in the past :
Nigel Warburton, Catherine McCall, Richard Firth-Godbehere, David Birch, Andy West, Pieter Mostert, Laura Kipnis
Join the conversation!

### Must it look like philosophy with Pieter Mostert
#philosophy
This time, our special guest, a Dutch philosopher based in the UK, Pieter Mostert, will take us on a philosophical journey asking this question - When we do philosophy, must it look like philosophy? Or can we do philosophy, although it does not look like it? Together we'll explore how important it is that something (in this case: philosophy) looks like what it is: "Look here, they're doing philosophy!". But does that mean that we can't write poems, select the best joke ever, or solve an equation? After all, not all ducks that look like a duck are a duck, ain't it?
The Philosopher’s Hat Club invites you to don your thinking cap and join a fun, facilitated online conversation about our world and interesting ideas. We meet monthly to make philosophy accessible and engaging — no prior knowledge is needed, just curiosity!
