The Dallas Philosophers Forum:
The Dallas Philosophers Forum is a lecture series and discussion group which meets in the Dallas, Texas metroplex.
The Dallas Philosophers Forum is dedicated to bringing philosophy, ideas, and intellectual discussion to an interested and educated audience in the DFW area.
The philosophy talks are designed to be engaging and non-technical and thus they are enjoyable by the layperson or academician alike: Philosophy made user friendly.
In addition to the regular philosophy lecture meetings, the Dallas Philosophers Forum also sponsors a Philosophy Study Group.
Dallas Philosophers Forum gatherings begin with dinner and discussion for those who want to come an hour or so early, then a philosophy lecture followed by half an hour of questions from the audience.
After the talks are over, everyone is encouraged to hang around and discuss the philosophical problems of the evening until the restaurant closes.
Whether you are a professional, student, retiree, professor, or simply enjoy intellectual discussion then the Dallas Philosophers Forum has something for you.
Come see why the Forum has become a D/FW institution.
