Auburn Philosophical Society
The Auburn Philosophical Society is a small group of professors, students and others that meets (more or less regularly) several times each semester. At a typical meeting, a paper is presented and is followed by a period of questions and discussions. From time to time the format varies and there are informal talks, debates and roundtable discussions. Anyone who is interested is invited to attend and participate. Contact: Eric Marcus, 844-3626; HC 6090.
