The Austin Philosophy Discussion Group (APDG) offers many opportunities for discussions of philosophy and philosophical issues. No advance preparation or knowledge is required, just an open mind (except for the book group). All our meetings are free of charge, but we occasionally pass the hat to collect money for operating expenses. Look at the Money tab on Group Tools for an accounting.

Does the phrase "Talk Nerdy to Me" stand as much as a philosophy in your mind as well as a legitimate social proposition? Do you love Science Fiction and/or Fantasy of every type, or are you a Force Wielder, Hardcore Trekkie, a member of the Tolkien Tribe, or a Babylon 5er super snob? Are you an avid reader of these genres, or do you love playing nerdy, yet fun sci fi/fantasy games online with friends? If you answered yes to any of these above questions, or are in love with or know someone who d …
A laid-back community exploring classic philosophical questions through the medium of film. If you are sick of small talk, and truly dig investigating the human experience but don't have the time or the attention span for a book club, you will love our group. Member-selected films are not restricted in any major sense--art house to mainstream, inception to present day, all genres are honored and/or exploited. One criteria for film selection is its ability to inspire discussion focused. Special …

… Before I get into some background and go off on my long description (hehe), I will abbreviate my "description" for this group: This is intended to be an open forum and *community* in which any person (whether he/she is very familiar with Conversations with God, or has never read any of the books) may come to study and discuss the content of these books directly, and also come and expand on the content with personal experiences; unique ideas; and additional teachings from relevant subjects which …

Our meetups will be in the evening in Round Rock and possibly Cedar Park.

… What: Monthly breakfast and “article club” Modeled after a traditional book club, every week we will feature one article (no books, who has time?!) dealing with current events, the environment, philosophy, new developments in science, etc. Articles might be from publications like The Economist, New York Times, The Atlantic, Science, or from think tanks/public policy organizations.
