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
University of Rochester - Warner School of Education and Human Development, 500 Wilson Blvd, Rochester, NY 14627, Rochester, NY, USHi Folks,
Welcome to our Freud reading group. This group will be facilitated by myself and other graduate students studying this material.
It is welcome to all, even if you've never read Freud or any other psychology. However for this group we require attendees to read the paper(s) in advance in order to attend. It's ok if you didn't fully comprehend them, but please at least make an attempt to read them. We can then help clarify things for everyone during the event. Please if you can join our Reading Freud mailing list here:
https://groups.google.com/g/readingfreud/
The reason for the mailing list is because supplemental information regarding the event is often posted here.For this event we will discuss Freud's paper "A Child is Being Beaten," available at this link:
