Elevated Thoughts Philosophy Group: The Madness of Reality

About

Why does encountering the "real" sometimes feel maddening rather than grounding? Is reality something we can progressively understand, or does it inevitably resist our reach? Join us online to explore Iris Murdoch’s compelling call to face reality head-on—and why doing so can feel so deeply disorienting. You can find the reading here; upon registering below, you'll receive an email with the link to join the discussion. Elevated Thoughts Philosophy Group is a partnership with the Philosophy Outreach Program of Colorado (POPCO) at CU Boulder. Each month, we'll read a relatively short philosophical text and then meet online on the fourth Thursday to discuss it. We'll post each month's reading on the group site ahead of the session, and we encourage participants to attend even if they haven't finished the reading. Philosophy Ph.D. candidate Kyle York and other CU Boulder philosophy graduate students facilitate discussions. We hope you'll join us!
