Our Story

Founded in New York City, Philosophy Club emerged from a merger of a few small salons committed to a simple idea: that philosophy should be public, practiced, and personal.

Drawing on the work of Robert Axelrod, we believe the key is repeated interaction—trust, depth, and cooperation comes from showing up consistently, over time, with others.

To this end, we host hundreds of guests every week to discuss the big questions. We also collaborate events with notable speakers and cultural centers.

As a public charity, we are 100% supported by donations and our passionate volunteers.
