Our Purpose
The Philosophy Club is intended to provide a forum for the free exchange and discussion of philosophical ideas among Boise State undergraduates and Philosophy Department faculty. One of the principle functions of the Club is sponsorship of periodic visits by philosophers from other universities.
Club Meetings
The Club meets every other Thursday at 7 p.m., at Papa Joe’s which is at the corner of University Drive and Capital Boulevard. Food and beverages are available for purchase. Here is the Phil Club’s Facebook page.
