Who we are:
     The Dallas Philosopher's Forum is a lecture series, located in the Dallas (Texas) Metroplex, dedicated to bringing philosophy to an interested and educated audience. Lectures typically last between 30 and 50 minutes and talks are followed by an open question and answer period.

     The lectures are designed to be engaging and non-technical and thus they are enjoyable by the layperson or academician alike. Subjects can be anything philosophically related such as ethics, politics, science, history, religion, meaning, or even standard philosophical fare such as epistemology or ontology. Whether you are a professional, student, retiree, professor, or simply enjoy intellectual discussion then the Dallas Philosopher's Forum has something for you. Come see why we have become a D/FW institution.

     The Dallas Philosopher's Forum also sponsors a PHILOSOPHY STUDY GROUP (PSG). The PSG provides an opportunity for members to gain a understanding of philosophical issues by participating in a study program that would be both enjoyable and intellectually satisfying. See our PSG page for details.
