Build philosophical knowledge and discuss big questions with philosophy professor Dr. Dan Peterson.

Do you ever wonder what it means to know something? For something to be true? For something to be wrong? For something to count as an art, or a science? If so, come join other budding tween and teen philosophers for Philosophy Club. Led by Morehouse College Philosophy Professor Dr. Dan Peterson, we'll meet monthly to build our philosophical knowledge and skills while also having lots of fun. No prior knowledge of philosophy is required, just a willingness to explore fascinating and tricky philosophical topics.
