You're fired up, you are ready. To read some philosophy, and OHYEAH!, talk about it.
Well, you're ready for the Intro Readings in Philosophy Not School Group.
Led by Brian Wilson (me, a St. John's College Graduate Institute alum who's been doing this same gig for veterans and active duty since 2013 through my Combat & Classics program), you'll dig into a monthly reading and discuss via Google Hangouts.
