--THE HANOI PHILOSOPHY FORUM--

Some members have degrees in Philosophy. Others are exploring these concepts for the first time. Wherever you are on this spectrum, we want to hear from you!

The Hanoi Philosophy Forum is a weekly, discussion-based exploration of classical and everyday philosophical concepts. Each evening, a series of 15-20 minute presentations are delivered diving deep into individual topics. Between each presentation we break into small groups of 6-8 people for 15 minutes or so to discuss and debate.
