Philosophy in the Community
We offer a broad spectrum of unique, fun & accessible opportunities for the Helena community to do, breathe & live philosophy.
Our philosophy in the community programs are free to the public and support critical, creative thinking, the exchange of ideas, and the application of philosophy to everyday life. More broadly, they are opportunities for people of all backgrounds and ages (from children to elders) to gather, to learn from and with one another, and to uniquely cultivate their personal and civic selves.
Examples include: philosophy walks, philosophy symposiums, philosophy workshops & outings, philosophy drive-in’s & read-in’s, philosophy fellowships, philosophy think & drinks, philosophy community endeavors (including our “Big Ideas by Little Philosopher’s” program and our ongoing Montana Conversations programs), and more. Our Philosophy in the Community activities represent the bulk of what we do.
