We meet at 11 am every second Saturday at Alliance Francaise de Bangalore for the Philosophy and Civilization Reading Circle. Our discussions are based on the writings of great modern thinkers who can help to clarify our present social, political and cultural moment. We strive to understand the world in order to change it. Reading are given below.
The group is free and open to all. No prior reading is required, we read out loud in the meetings and have an open discussion. Please join us!
