What we’re about
Join us for insightful discussions and social events at iconic locations around the city.
Everyone is welcome here, for making friends, finding collaborators, expressing opinion or gaining perspective. Our non academic discussions occur each week. Topics can vary from profound theories or individual ideas to entire movements that shaped the world. Chat is broken up with games, presentations, challenges and post match social drinks. Philosophy was a way of life for many ancient Greeks. So too was festival, ritual and revelry.
There are no hard rules here, only that natural rights should be respected, specifically freedom of speech and expression. It is an anarchic order, there are no leaders! The primary objective of this community is to promote civic and personal virtue. Namely those core virtues of wisdom, courage, temperance & justice. We aim to strengthen mental resilience, gain intellect and attain a level of 'intellectual self-defense' by practicing the liberal arts! We investigate human culture, philosophy, history, spirituality & anthropology through a range of philosophical ideas ancient through to modern.
Welcome to a society for iconoclasts, intellectuals, dissidents and rogue thinkers!
