Philosophy and Coffee

PLEASE NOTE the Attendance Alert added below. This is a community of inquiry. Philosophy is the academic study of knowledge, existence, beauty, and ethics. We are not focused on Stoic practice but on speculative inquiry. Speculative questions are questions regarding things that can be resolved just by talking about them only referencing experiences that are common to the vast majority of human beings.

If you are having trouble putting your ideas into words, we can help you narrow down what exactly you are trying to ask and guide you toward a well-phrased discussion question. We will pick the discussion question(s) from among the questions proposed. Please be prepared to make a small purchase at the coffee shop, so we justify our use of their space. Consider this the cost of admission. If you have questions about this event or Denver Stoics, please send me a message here on Meetup.

Attendee spots will be saved until 10:15 ; if you plan to arrive later, please contact the organizer directly. Thank you for understanding and respecting this rule in the interest of optimizing the group experience! Three-Strikes Rule: Attendees who cancel less than 12 hours before the event or simply don't show up three times will be moved to the bottom of the waitlist when they sign up for subsequent…
