Pittsburgh Continental Philosophy Network

READING GROUP:

Join us tomorrow (Monday) night at 8:00pm as we continue our Halloween-season series, “PHILOSOPHY and HORROR,” with a discussion of Graham Harman’s Weird Realism: Lovecraft and Philosophy (pp.1-27).

As always, the text is available as a pdf HERE.

We will be meeting at 3929 Cabinet Way, Pittsburgh (BYOB) until we can establish a more permenant location.

As a reminder, even though we have moved to thematic groups, there is no expectation that people participate in every week, so even if you can’t commit to the whole Fall, you are still more than welcome to join us when you can.

OTHER EVENTS THIS WEEK:
