"There is no better way to study the big questions in philosophy than to compare how the world's greatest minds have analyzed these questions and reasoned out potential solutions. The final step is always deciding for yourself whether you find an explanation convincing."

At each meeting, we watch or listen to a lecture together, have a short break, and then discuss lecture together.

Typically, we cover one lecture every other week. See the event’s title for what lecture is for that event.
