Philosophy Club
Our Purpose:
The QCC Philosophy Club is dedicated to curious thinkers who seek deeper engagement with philosophical ideas, critical thinking, and open dialogue. We want to create a space where students can freely express their thoughts, challenge perspectives, and personify a greater understanding of themselves and the world around them.
Purpose of the Club
- To provide a judgement-free environment where students can engage in meaningful discussions on philosophy, psychology, ethics, and the art of discourse.
- To help students develop critical thinking skills by continuously introducing and debating new ideas, building upon past conversations to inspire intellectual growth.
