This 10‑week Philosophy Club continues to explore the theme of revolutions across major cultural, political, technological, and environmental domains through a range of philosophical lenses. Each week features a different speaker, bringing diverse philosophical, historical, literary, and creative perspectives. Together, we connect classic ideas and critical thinking to major global events and enduring human questions, asking how philosophy can help us better understand (and respond to) the world we are living in.

While this is the second term in which we have explored the topic of “revolutions,” the program is entirely self‑contained and can be joined independently.
