Philosophy Discussion Group

Are you fascinated by philosophy? Would you like to join a discussion group of philosophy lovers who meet monthly in downtown Washington?

We are a diverse group of attorneys, philosophers, mathematicians, and others who share a love of the search for wisdom.

Our group is devoted to philosophy generally, and, especially, to the study of Baruch Spinoza, the 17th century Dutchman who inspired such thinkers as Goethe and Einstein.

We generally meet on the second Monday of each month from September through May at the
Goethe-Institut Washington, 812 7th St., N.W., one block from the Gallery Place Metro stop
at 7th and I Sts., N.W.
