Just curiosity.

  • "Public Philosophy Week is good thinking at its finest—and most democratic, because it asks us to think about what we know and how we might share it with our community. And it simultaneously asks us: what do you want to learn, and who in your community might teach you? It takes seriously the idea that we are all thinkers, all philosophers, and all contributors to the public good."

    —Ilyse Morgenstein Fuerst

  • "Public Philosophy Week provides new inroads to community. Whether hearing a familiar community member talk about new topics or taking time to dig deep in familiar spaces with strangers, you never walk out with an empty mind."

    —Clare LaFrance

  • "I go to as many sessions as I can! Every offering is unique, but they all bubble and fizz with interesting ideas. I love the idea of all kinds of people tucked into coffee shops and classrooms and libraries thinking about stuff together. With a friend, on my own, new topic, old topic, mostly listening or sharing a few thoughts; it always works."

    —Andy Barker
