Our reading group offers a space for dialogue and philosophical community. Each member’s perspective plays a role in shaping the character of the group. Our group is a mix of long-time members and newcomers. You don’t need any formal academic background to join us. The list of texts we have covered, thus far, is available here. You don’t need to be familiar with the previous texts to join in the discussions. Register at Tier 1 to access the recording of our past sessions. Register at Tier 2 to join our Saturday conversations.
