Owl of Minerva

The Owl of Minerva is a philosophy gathering of students, professors, and a community of thinkers that meets once a month to discuss philosophy and related issues. It is an informal way by which philosophers can present their original ideas for discussion in a non-threatening environment. In addition, the forum offers an opportunity for the audience to voice objections and counter arguments to the philosophical ideas presented to them.
