Welcome
to the Moravian Philosophy Club
The Philosophy Club is an active student organization that meets
weekly throughout the fall and spring semesters to discuss, in an intellectually
open, respectful and friendly atmosphere, different philosophical
issues, from traditional topics and classical philosophers to philosophical topics in pop culture. We also have Movie Nights where we get together to view
a movie, have some pizza, and discuss pertinent philosophical
issues.
The Philosophy Club meets every Tuesday in the Rec Room in the HUB from 11:45 AM-1:00 PM. Anyone interested in participating in stimulating philosophical discussions is welcome to join us!
