the london philosophy club

The London Philosophy Club is a place for people who enjoy discussing all things intellectual - a place to dig deep and discuss ideas that matter. Each time we meet a topic will be set beforehand and a possible speaker who is an expert in the field will discuss the topic, followed by group debate.

No background in Philosophy is necessary. You will get to know other philosophy lovers, curious souls, open-minded individuals who love wisdom and the exploration of ideas - in a non-academic relaxed atmosphere, full of debate and challenging topics. We passionately believe that deeper reflection and the examined life is the one worth living.

Please use at least your first name and a profile picture to join the club (Jules and I take care to block spammers.) Looking forward to having you join us!
