The Long Beach Philosophy Meetup meets once a month to discuss topics in philosophy. Generally, the focus will be Western philosophy, but all points of view are welcome.

Feel free to initiate a topic with the group by e-mail or show up at the meeting with a topic in mind. When possible, we will select topics for discussion at the preceding meeting. The suggestion of short reading available on the Internet is encouraged for all topics.

For our 20th meeting, at Uriah's suggestion, we will be discussing sexual identity. This is a component of a topic we have taken up many times in the past--personal identity--and I hope we find this aspect of the issue as fascinating as we have the other aspects of this topic. Suggested readings to follow. The meeting will begin at 7:00 p.m. The first twenty minutes or so will be devoted to introductions and settling in. Meetings will end when they are over. Don't worry about being late--come when you can.
