The New York Philosophy Club emerged from a merger of a few small salons committed to a simple idea: that philosophy should be public, practiced, and personal.

Drawing on the work of Robert Axelrod, we believe that the key to a strong social fabric is repeated interaction—integrity and cooperation comes from showing up consistently, over time, with others.

To this end, we host hundreds of guests every week to discuss the big questions. We also collaborate on events with notable speakers and cultural centers.

As a public charity, we are 100% supported by donations and our passionate volunteers.
