The Philosopher’s Hat Club invites participants to put their philosopher’s hat on, and once a month to engage in a meaningful and facilitated conversation, about the world we live in, with other participants.

The theme for this edition of the Philosopher’s Hat Club is the SELF. We’ll touch on questions related to personhood and the illusion of self.

We also hope to run a fun exercise: One question you always wanted to ask a real philosopher!

THIS IS A FREE EVENT BUT DONATIONS ARE WELCOME TO ENSURE THE SUSTAINABILITY OF OUR CLUB
