Philosophy Society

Philosophy Society concerns itself, shockingly, with philosophy. The point of the group is not to be only a study group organized by students, but also a way of expressing ideas and concepts which we normally do not tend to talk about. The pandemic hit the society hard, because the main appeal of the society for the members at least is being physically present while discussing the topics. However, the society does still exist online, and we mean to meet in person as soon as possible. If you are interested in philosophy, even without having any knowledge about the subject, this society is for you. The only criterium is thinking.

  1. Should we imagine Sisyphus happy?
