The unexamined life is not worth living. We strive to provide stimulating lectures as well as open discussions ranging from esoteric to pragmatic topics, and all points in between. The Philosophy Club's signature event is it's Philosophy Teas, held at least twice a month and open to any member of the Clark community. During these teas the club discusses a variety of topics, most commonly based on an essay read or a topic researched, these being established the week before. At other times, the club will discuss current events and policy concerns, all the while maintaining a strong foothold in philosophy.
