ABOUT US
Lancaster University Philosophy Society, also known as 'philsoc', is the perfect place for anyone interested in philosophy! Whether you're a current Philosophy student, enjoy looking into the subject as a hobby, or are completely new to the world of philosophy, this is the society for you! We debate a broad range of philosophical topics at our discussions including: metaphyiscs, philosophy of mind, aesthetics, epistemology, politics, philosophy of language, personal identity, ethics, religion, and art. We hope to prompt interesting new discussions in a safe and positive environment, and we'd love for you to join us.

From our weekly discussion sessions, to monthly guest lectures by leading academics, termly collaborations with other societies, and a wide range of socials throughout the year we try to cater to everyone's philosophical interests!
