Gettysburg College Philosophy Department

Philosophy department lunch today!

More poster presentations, but this round was the seniors in the Philosophy department, which means - Capstone Presentations!

They all did great work and had very nice presentations.

Congratulations to all our seniors.

Poster Presentations from the Philosophy first year seminar class - "Sorry, Not Sorry" happened yesterday in the Weidensall Hall Lobby!

The presentations went very well, and there was a lot of great projects to learn about!

The Socratic Club's first meeting of the academic year (this past Wednesday) was a success! Thank you to everyone who joined us, and here are some photos from the event!

Hi everyone!
Welcome back to campus! I hope you enjoyed a fun and restful summer.
The Socratic Club will be having its first meeting of the academic year next Wednesday, September 6th at 6pm in the lobby of Weidensall Hall. We'll be discussing Greta Gerwig's Barbie movie and its implications for contemporary art's role in today's political and economic landscape (because on Wednesdays, we wear pink!).
We'll be discussing the purpose of art, the role of media in today's political landscape, and whether modern intellectual property rights help or hinder the creation of art. Pizza will be served, so bring your appetites and your opinions. Whether you loved it or hated it, we hope to see you all there!
