Philosophy can be one of the most sublime or the most trivial of human pursuits. What are some of the definitions of philosophy? One classic notion might be the pursuit of wisdom, or sophia, studying about fundamental concerns  of life and world such as existence, truth and essence. The modern academic definition might be the study about how to think and know systematically and correctly,  by the proper use of logic, reason, and language--rigorous scientific and analytic philosophy. We have e …

This group is about the evolution of human and humanism, bridging secular humanism, new creative humanism, spiritual humanism, emerging trans-humanism, and beyond. We focus on future oriented humanisms, culture, science, and technology that benefits human and society. We attempt to bridge between science and religion through philosophy, creativity, and spirituality. Community building among members and doing demonstrative trans-human level creative projects together are important for this group. …

Science of the Mind provides a forum for those interested in the foundations of awareness: the structure of the brain, the brain/mind connection, awareness, consciousness, cognition, language, memory, learning, interior experience, altered states, and illusion. Where does "brain" end and "mind" begin? How can we understand consciousness and self-awareness? Our discussions may also touch on practices such as meditation and yoga, although the focus of the group is not metaphysics. Join other "curi …

We are a group of students who study and practice Buddhism together in the Seattle area. Our teacher, Younge Khachab Rinpoche, visits Seattle several times a year to give teachings and meditation instruction. We invite anyone who is interested in learning more about Buddhism philosophy or meditation to join us.

Analytic philosophy is, by far, the standard type of philosophy taught in Philosophy Departments throughout North America, Britain, Scandinavia, and beyond. Analytic philosophers aim for perspicuity and results, and they typically make serious, substantive contributions to the foundational issues arising in other disciplines, like Economics, Physics, Biology, Computer Science, etc. (in fact, analytic philosophers have *founded* these disciplines, by in large). However, this group will discuss th …

Why human life makes sense: The ultimate answers for the ultimate questions The purpose of this meetup group is to provide space for discussing the fundamental questions of human life. Any such questions are welcome, and you can see those that we have thus far considered by looking at the topics of the posted meetings. I’m Philip Bitar, and I will facilitate the discussion. After earning a doctorate in computer science, I spent 10 years developing a comprehensive theory of human life. I publishe …

This is a gathering of like-minded folks in the Seattle area who are passionate readers of the author and thinker C.S. Lewis. The Screwtape Letters, The Great Divorce, the Chronicles of Narnia, Perelandra, the list goes on and on of works that have already become heritage classics in religious philosophy and Christian thought (not to mention a few that have been overlooked!). In a desire to explore his books and his world, Narnian or otherwise, we're attempting to focus on one book for each time …

Join us as we meet to learn about and explore a wide variety of philosophical ideas related to the human experience. Our Leadership Team consists of monks and members of the Vedanta Society of Western Washington, an accredited branch of the Ramakrishna Order of India.

This group is for people who like to mix philosophical discourse and drinking. If you're looking for carefully moderated debate, look elsewhere. These discussions are unstructured intellectual free-for-alls - the only two constants are booze and a keen interest in the nature of reality and human existence. We take philosophy very seriously, but we don't think taking it seriously demands that you act like an academic when discussing it. No formal training is necessary -  no one will be expected …

Café Philo, is a french tradition I'm bringing in Seattle. As a fan of philosophy and technology, this cafe philo 2.0 is a little bit different from the one I use to attend in Paris. The format is simple (and new!) a. You share your question (ie what is sustainability? is it possible/good?) b. we vote on the best one c. You have 1 min to explain your general point of view (kinda help to see where the debate will go) c. We have 30-60min to prep our arguments (using books / internet...) d. We deba …

This is a group for anyone interested in studying one of the most profound and mysterious books of the esoteric world--namely, Alice A. Bailey's 1925 opus, A Treatise on Cosmic Fire (TCF). The group began the reading of TCF on September 23, 2012.  The plan is to meet once monthly on a Sunday morning to read and discuss the book.  The entire project should take a little more than three years. Group inquiry will be guided by a set of questions drafted by Michael Robbins (University of Seven Rays). …

Seattle-area ladies united in the bold pursuit of new friends, drinking, and irreverent fun-making. Lurk no more: if you were wondering where all the fun, creative, independent, literate ladies are, you found us. I started this meetup in part because I felt like so many of the other women-centric meetup groups tend to be a little heavy on the butterfly imagery or Sex and the City connotations.  Or focused around professional networking, babies, or exercise.  And those are all great things--espec …

The purpose of our group is very simple: we discuss and analyze ideas. The word "analyze/analytical" is not a reference to syllogistic, analytical philosophy, but rather stands for those who like to analyze and critique ideas. Its a place for thinkers to connect with other thinkers! The format is also very simple: there is a brief 15 to 30 minute lecture (the shorter the better) followed by a civil conversation. We believe in organic group mingling. Not all thinkers are compatible, as thinkers …

We have a voice. We have beliefs. We will fight for them. Punks On Politics is a platform for an alternative population to realize the power of ideas and engage in the policy/political process. We have been, at best, patronized; but more often we have been overlooked and ignored. We are not the detritus of a culture in decline. We are an active movement and culture unto ourselves.

This is a group to discuss current affairs - both national and international. Possible areas to discuss include current national policy options, economics, international affairs, and general political theory relevant to current times. The discussions could focus on a specific topic, discussion of a book, or magazine (e.g. Foreign Affairs) article.

The events held in this group are all about having fun nights of great people and 'deeper' discussions over dinner in a charming restaurant. This Meetup group was created by Glen Brauer as part of a non-profit global initiative using practical philosophy to bring togeth …

Participate in a social experiment. Meet and socialize with other INTPs in the greater Seattle area. INTPs are usually loners, socially awkward, and miss out on the touchy-feely side of life. But is it because we are so introverted, or because no one else can relate to us? My thesis is that meeting and socializing with other INTPs over a few beers can help us all come to terms with what it means to be an INTP, and how it affects our interpersonal relationships with others. Are you ready to take …

Looking to bring together other Long Now thinkers, oriented around The Long Now Foundation content. Exact get-togethers are TBD depending on interests of the group.
