The Symposium (Philosophy Club)

Come join our weekly discussion of all things Philosophy!

Discussion/welcoming new members. Come and meet people who love philosophy!

We will be looking at and discussing a specific philosophical argument together (TBD because this event was scheduled early - check go.middlebury.edu/philmeeting 3-4 days before the meeting to see the topic). All are welcome - looking forward to seeing you there!

An online discussion event (continuing over break) dedicated to informally discussing philosophical questions and similar. All are welcome!

This event will be an opportunity for people to virtually convene and relax - to discuss or simply to listen. We may begin in the philosophical, but all conversations are welcome!

This event will feature an hour and a half panel discussion on the ethical and psychological dimensions of climate change: What are the responsibilities of those who know about the extent of the threat? Are they obligated to trumpet it at every opportunity, and/or massively alter their normal mode of living? How does one manage the anxiety and despair that attends an understanding of the bleakness of the science? How do we address not just scientific denial but emotional disavowal of climate reality?
