About PhilSoc
PhilSoc is a student-led society which aims to promote the practice and discussion of philosophy.
Main events
We run weekly Wednesday discussion groups, where we discuss a variety of philosophical topics. No prior knowledge is needed though. This gives students from all backgrounds a place to openly explore and challenge their everyday assumptions, expose themselves to new perspectives, and develop their views on significant issues. Topics are voted on a couple of days in advance by all attendees, via WhatsApp. This group chat and our Instagram page is where anyone can propose a question they want to discuss too.
We look forward to introducing a reading group this year, where we will read and then analyse one specific text. This is a great opportunity to delve deeper into some particular topic or philosopher, and the society's team will draw up an extensive list of texts to continue ensuring diversity of choice.
On top of these regular events, PhilSoc also hosts external and internal speakers for talks and Q&A's, as well as many exciting collaborations with other societies!
