Philosophy Club
Welcome to the Undergraduate Philosophy Club at UCLA!
Weekly Meetings
Our weekly meetings are held every Tuesday at 6 pm in Dodd 399. The club’s meetings often explore topics not commonly covered in undergraduate courses.
Our quarterly activities include: philosophically themed movie nights, faculty presentations, a symposium social, and shark-flying. Our annual activities include: the meditations journal, an undergraduate conference, an intra-club debate, several inter-club discussions, and graduate student panel over applications and issues of diversity (hosted in partnership with Minorities and Philosophy).
We are open to any and all who are interested. Don’t worry if you’re not a philosophy major – we’d love to hear your thoughts and opinions! Please feel free to message us for more information or to be added to our emailing list.
Also join our Facebook page for information on weekly topics and readings and other deep and meaningful things.

Reading Groups
The UCLA Undergraduate Philosophy Club also has a book club that meets weekly. We read and discuss together during the meeting, so no reading needs to be done in advance. If you are interested in finding more about the book club, be it general or procedural information or about our current schedule and meeting place, please message us to join our GroupMe.
