Description
Welcome!
The Philosophy Society is the para-academic organon of the Bristol University philosophy culture, it is designed to be a space for radical thinking, mistake making and development through learning. Each and every person is welcome at the Philosophy Society, no matter how nerdy you are about philosophy, there will be something you can gain from it. Alongside believing in intellectual development and academic rigour, we see the society as an ethical vehicle for the creation of a thriving intellectual community.
