What we’re about
What we’re about
Guelph (Faux) Philosophy Book Club (GFPBC) is a monthly club that meets in Guelph, ON at 10 am on the first Saturday of each month. Our current home is the Red Brick Café on Douglas Street downtown.
We are not exactly a philosophy club, and not exactly a book club. We do aim to create a space to share and socialize a range of ‘big’ questions and the underlying concepts. While philosophical texts are one source of discussion, we will take advantage of articles, YouTube talks, documentaries and movies that offer worthwhile insights, and can feed our “love of wisdom”.
Each month we will focus on a topic, perhaps through a prompting question, and utilize one or several related sources to feed a discussion. I will do my best to pick sources that are accessible, at no or low cost.
I am relaunching the Meetup as the new organizer and keenly interested in any suggestions, so feel free to share any recommendations, questions, or thoughts through a direct message. Our next meeting will be October 6th (this is a Sunday, changing from Saturday) at 10 am til noon at The Redbrick (Thanksgiving is the 14th this year). I will share our topic and the reference materials over the next week or 2.
I look forward to meeting and exploring some interesting philosophical questions with you all!
