Collegium Philosophicum

Students meet periodically throughout the school year to discuss a variety of philosophical issues, authors and texts. On many occasions, students have the opportunity to present their own work in the form of a paper, inviting critique and further discussion from their fellow majors. Currently club discussion is centered on Philosophy and Social Hope by Richard Rorty.
