adult learning philosophy in the library


You are invited to join us for our monthly Philosophy Discussion!  We meet on the last Wednesday of every month in Room 214 at the Central Library.  

We are undertaking a chronological exploration of the History of Philosophy beginning with the earliest Greek philosophers, using The History of Philosophy (Without Any Gaps) podcast and resources (authored by Dr. Peter Adamson). Each meeting corresponds with one episode of the podcast.  All podcast episodes can be found at this website: https://historyofphilosophy.net/all-episodes. They are about twenty minutes long.  

On Wednesday February 28, we will discuss Episode 12 – Malcolm Schofield on the Presocratics.  To listen to the podcast click this link: https://historyofphilosophy.net/malcolm-schofield-on-the-presocratics.

This meeting will also serve as the first part of a two-part review of the Presocratic philosophers we've studied since this program began in January 2023, corresponding with the first three episodes listed here: https://www.historyofphilosophy.net/classical/presocratic-philosophy

All interested parties are welcome to join us.  No previous philosophical background is required.
