Examined Life
Examined Life is an informal group that comes together on a weekly basis 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. Contact gangelica@ucmerced.edu for more information.
