About us
Philosophy Café in Rochester, NY is a group that reads philosophy texts and meets to discuss them.
All are welcome! Our meetings are open to “beginners” and “experts,” alike. No prior experience with philosophy is required or expected. If you have an interest in philosophy, we’d love for you to join us!
We meet on the second Saturday of each month at 11:15 a.m., unless indicated otherwise.
A typical meeting starts with a short, general introduction of the topic and the readings, and then we break into small groups (3-5 people) to discuss. At some point, we re-mix the small groups so we each get to talk with and hear from different people. And at the end, we sometimes bring everyone back together as a big group to share observations that came out of the small group discussions.

Reading Freud
Rochester, 205-237 Court St, Rochester, NY 14607, United States, NY, USHi Folks,
Welcome to our Freud reading group. This group will be a little different to other ones I have hosted as it will be a private invite only reading group and it will be required for attendees to read a piece in advance before attending.
I am currently in graduate school for mental health and am reading already a fair bit of material in this space, so I should be able to act as a guide as well as a facilitator.
If this is something that interests you to dig deep into some of Freud's greatest hits, and you are willing to complete 20 page or so reading in advance of attending then it would be great to have you express interest in the link below:

Once I get expressions of interest I will reach out to discuss whether you'd be a good fit for attendance. The date and time and location of this meetup event are placeholders and do not reflect the actual event details. The actual event details will be confirmed and shared with attendees once your attendance is confirmed.
I look forward to your interest!
Kind Regards,

Reading Borges
Rochester, 205-237 Court St, Rochester, NY 14607, United States, NY, USHi Folks,
I am thinking of hosting a Borges reading group, beginning this summer. This group will be a little different to other ones I have hosted as it will be a private invite only reading group and it will be required for attendees to read a piece in advance before attending.
If this is something that interests you to dig deep into some of Borges' greatest hits, and you are willing to complete a short reading in advance of attending, then it would be great to have you express interest in the link below:
