You may be wondering:
"What is the Philosophy Symposium?"

The Philosophy Symposium is a group of students who want to engage in the theory an practice of philosophy. It is open to all USM students and we attempt to create a variety of events that will appeal to students with a diversity of backgrounds and interests. In the past, events have included guest speakers, panel discussions, forums, attendance at conferences, reading and study groups, seeing movies and plays, trips to museums and other locations of interest, parties and other social gatherings. These are just a few of the possibilities open to the Philosophy Symposium; which are determined by those involved with the group.

The Philosophy Symposium is a student group sponsored by the Board of Student Organization (BSO). The Symposium is for any student who is interested in philosophy, philosophical thought, or intellectual community.

Meetings are held at the Philosophy Department at 47 Exeter Street

Please call 780-4258 for times, information, or directions.

Philosophy Symposium does not meet during the summer.

The Philosophy Symposium ListServ is an email discussion/announcement forum open to anyone interested in any type of philosophical communication. Students, staff and faculty may establish dialogues, or have discussions via email.
