The Philosophy Club

PURPOSE

The purpose of UNF's Philosophy Club is twofold. First, it is to provide students with a chance to explore their philosophical interests and to learn from one another in social settings beyond the classroom. Second, it is to equip students and alumni for success in philosophy and affiliated fields.

ACTIVITIES

Like any other field, part of what makes doing philosophy enjoyable is the chance to get paid for doing something you love, and part of what makes it enjoyable is the chance to develop meaningful relationships with people who share your interests. To get a feel for the Philosophy Club, join us fo any of a number of events, such as (i) a philosophy slam at a local bar, (ii) one of our dinners at a local restaurant, (iii) a reading group, or (iv) coffee or lunch with department faculty. If you are interested in something more 'formal' and 'professional', the Philosophy Club will help you get involved in other events, such as (i) professional conferences, like those coducted by the American Philosophical Association or the Florida Philosophical Association, (ii) student conferences, like the Northeast Florida Student Philosophy Conference, which UNF has hosted for more than a decade, or (iii) department colloquia, at which you can discuss contemporary philosophical research with those working in the field. 

FLORIDA STUDENT PHILOSOPHY BLOG

If your schedule is tight, you can always get invloved online! The Department of Philosophy and Religious Studies at UNF hosts the Florida Student Philosophy Blog. The blog is committed to conducting quality discussions of issues philosophical, religious, moral, political, and scientific. It has an international audience, but its contributors are undergrads, grads, and alumni from philosophy departments throughout the state of Florida, as well as invited guests affiliated with these departments.
