Philosophy Think & Drinks

What can we say?  Wine, grog & spirits are right up our alley!  And talking philosophy over libations…even better! That’s why we love our community socials.  Our Philosophy Think & Drinks are casual and informal, community-oriented, intellectually stimulating, and fun.  You do not need a background in philosophy to enjoy & participate in these gatherings.  An open mind & desire to engage in thoughtful dialogue (whether from a listening or contribution standpoint) is all that’s needed!  For those who love philosophy but prefer not to partake in the libations side of things, don’t let that stop you from participating in the fun.  We emphasize the think over the drink!

What Are They About & How Do They Work?

Merlin Philosophy Think & Drinks are like “Philosophy Dojos” and are all about…

  • Sharing ideas & insights
  • Expanding & clarifying viewpoints
  • Engaging in critical & creative thinking
  • Strengthening & fostering community
  • Participating in meaningful dialogue
  • Having fun with philosophy
  • And more…

Our Merlin Think & Drink gatherings are monthly (dojo) sessions that consist of a “meeting of the minds” over snacks & libations.  After nabbing goodies and seats, getting acquainted (for those new to the dojo) & settling in…the eve begins.  First in order — the democratic selection of a question (about a specific topic).  No topics are off-limit; no questions are too broad, narrow, abstract, or concrete.  Questions are posed by participants in a “round-robin” fashion, clarified, and then voted upon collectively. Once our “avenue of philosophical pursuit” is in place, we are ready to dive into a fun night of (facilitated) philosophical discussion.
