How did philosophy get so out of touch?
Wit and Wisdom Talk Series
Speaker: Seth Tichenor
Some questions deserve more than quick answers. Wit & Wisdom explores them with free monthly philosophy talks at Fort George Brewery—one question at a time, approached carefully and made accessible to everyone. A philosopher presents for 45 minutes on topics rooted in philosophical study, but you won't hear jargon that scares people away. The question always gets messier and more complex before offering a response—which means you'll leave thinking, not just informed. Doors open at 6pm, talk begins at 7pm, Q&A follows. Food and drink available. Every talk hopes to be the beginning of a longer conversation.
