The University of Chicago Philosophy Project

This project seeks to provide a forum for electronically mediated scholarly discussion of philosophical works. The University of Chicago Philosophy Project contains several philosophical discussions between small groups of participants. Each group is run by a moderator, who selects the participants for her group and organizes the discussion. The moderator for each group is chosen by the administrators of the University of Chicago Philosophy Project.

If you have an idea for a philosophical discussion group which you would like to moderate as part of the University of Chicago Philosophy Project, please contact the administrator:

If you would like to join one of the discussions already in progress, please contact the moderator of that discussion.
