What we’re about
Join us Wednesdays at Philosophy Fight Club for round table discussions that strengthen your rhetoric, flex your intellect and sharpen your wit.
These non academic discussions occur each week, currently in the basement of Saint Lawrence church in the city. Topics at Fight Club vary, chat can run on and everyone has an equal voice.... though you may need to speak up to be heard. The session is broken up with games, presentations and challenges with post match social drinks at a dive bar next door.
You are welcome here for making friends, finding collaborators, expressing opinion and gaining perspective. "You decide your own level of involvement"

Practical Philosophy Meetup - Sydney
Christ Church St. Lawrence, Pitt St. entrance behind 812 George Street, Cellar, Sydney , AU[ Co-hosted event with Practical Philosophy Club - Sydney ]
www.meetup.com/en-AU/practical-philosophy-club-sydney/Practical Philosophy is a regular meet-up that brings critical thinkers together for an opportunity to dive deep on a topic, practice communicating, and building a community. All with no ‘official’ philosophy knowledge required! 😎
Practical Philosophy is based on the idea that philosophy should be accessible to all, and not something reserved only for academics. Each week we choose a topic, and the goal is to use the conversation to develop our critical thinking and communication as we explore that topic.
The goal is to help develop our Critical Thinking, Communication, and Community🤓 FAQ
- Do I need to study or read anything to attend?
No preparation is necessary. This isn’t a study of other thinkers. We want to know what you think about the topic, not what an old philosopher thought. If you have a perspective from a religion or a school of thought to share, throw it on the table and we’ll discuss it.
- Is there a specific philosophy that Practical Philosophy is focused on?
The goal of our meet-ups is to not have dogmatic discussions, and flex our critical thinking muscles. Because of this, we want to hear from every realm of thought, and don't study a particular school.
- Is it mostly men that attend?
Surprisingly, no! Although often, philosophy is seen as a Candelabra affair in a dark room with a bunch of guys, our Practical Philosophy meetups are generally 50/50 between genders, and we don’t meet in any dark rooms.
- Can I come alone?
Of course you can, we encourage it :)
- Can I be late?
Please don't be! We do have a 15 minute grace period where we allow people to funnel in while we hang out, but after that if you arrive too late, it disrupts the flow of the conversation.
- Where do you meet?
The location is posted in Meetup and our Whatsapp group for this location. It is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED that you join the Whatsapp group! If you want to know what other cities have a Practical Philosophy Club, you can see our chapters on our website.
