Examined Life
Starting on October 12th, Examined Life will be occurring every Thursday 5-6pm in room COB1 320. Examined Life is an informal group that comes together to brainstorm philosoophical questions or topics. We choose a question/topic from participant's suggestions in the following four categories:
- What I have been thinking about,
- What everyone is talking about,
- What no one is talking about,
- and A bold idea.
Our goal with Examined Life is to create a space where individuals from any major can come together to philosophical topics of their choice.
