Philosophy Club
The NSCC Philosophy Club welcomes all wisdom seekers.
- Meetings, open to everyone, provide opportunities to analyze pressing philosophical questions and debate answers.
- Most meetings focus on a particular theme or group of themes. For example, we’ve talked about freedom, love, violence, rights, selfishness, etc.
- Participants can receive:
- intellectual stimulation and enlightenment
- opportunities to display their own brilliance, or to bask in others’
- a bulleted item under “extra-curricular activities” on a résumé or CV
- multiple additional benefits, supernal and sublime
