The Owl of Minerva is a philosophy gathering of students, professors, and a
community of thinkers who meet once a month to discuss philosophy and related
issues. It is an informal way by which philosophers can present their original
ideas for discussion in a non-threatening environment. In addition, the forum
offers an opportunity for the audience to voice objections and counter arguments
to the philosophical ideas presented to them. A speaker, chosen at the previous
meeting, prepares a question or controversial topic to present to the group.
The speaker has twenty minutes to put forward their ideas and arguments; the
speaker is followed by an engaging question and answer period from the audience.
This student philosophy forum is a great way to meet people, to hone critical
thinking and speaking skills, and to learn in a casual setting. A reception
follows the presentation. All are welcome and admission is free.
