You are invited to join us for Philosophy Discussion!  

In 2025, we are embarking on a journey through the whole of Plato’s Republic. From January through May, we read Books 1 through 5. This June, we will take a moment to review the ground we've covered so far. 

Newcomers are welcome!  Come learn about Plato's philosophy while getting to know other like-minded individuals in a friendly, collegial setting.

Recommended Readings:

  • Plato’s Republic, Book 1 – 5.  Translation by GMA Grube, Revised by CDC Reeve.

  • Annas, Julia. An Introduction to Plato’s Republic, Chapters 1—8.
