Philosophy Society

The Royal Holloway Philosophy society is a student-run society that was formed in 2014 with the purpose of promoting and fostering an extra-curricular environment for the study of philosophy at Royal Holloway, University of London. To this end, we host weekly symposia on a variety of philosophical topics, drawing from a diverse pool of philosophers. We also run an ‘aesthetics circle’ in collaboration with our own Dr David Preston, where we discuss the merits (or lack thereof) of three pieces of art suggested by the members of the group. The atmosphere is relaxed and informal, and the event is open to anyone with an open heart and mind. Dispersed among these weekly activities we host lectures in collaboration with the department, each ending with a ritual visit to a local pub.
