🧠 NYC Philosophy & Psychology Readers Spring Colloquium 2026

Welcome to the NYC Philosophy & Psychology Readers Spring 2026 Colloquium!

The topic for this colloquium is "What is Reason and what is it good for?". We will have two talks and discussions related to this topic.

Since 2019 this meetup group has enabled readers of philosophy and psychology to come together to form friendships and foster insights by engaging in thoughtful discussions on significant concepts discovered from reading books and intellectual consumption.

### ❗ IMPORTANT RSVP INFO

We encourage you to attend both talks, they are designed to go together. However, each session has its own RSVP link below — please RSVP to each talk individually. This allows us to better manage space requirements and the specificities of each event. Space is limited, seating is first-come, first-served. Seating capacity is 40 seated, (or ~70 if everyone stands up).

⚠️ Sessions will begin once the speaker is ready and the room is seated. Please arrive on time, as no late entry will be allowed after a session begins.
