Michaelmas 2018

TERMCARD


WELCOME Welcome to Michaelmas term 2018 with the Oxford University Philosophy Society! Our Society was founded two years ago to bring together the student philosophical minds of Oxford and to explore all aspects of this ancient subject. We aim to engage with central philosophical problems and to draw attention to the close links between philosophy and other fields. To this end we have put together an exciting series of speaker events featuring renowned thinkers from Britain and beyond. These talks are free to society members and cost £3 to non-members. Unless otherwise advertised they will take place in Lecture Room 23, Balliol College. Look out also for impromptu social events and discussions that will be announced during the course of the term. All are welcome at our events and no prior philosophical knowledge is required. We wish you all a successful term. If you have any questions, or are interested in getting more involved with the society, then don’t hesitate to contact us on Facebook. Best wishes, OUPS Committee
