The charter of Philosophy & Human Nature

Ancient questions, read slowly, argued carefully.

We read primary texts together, one section a week, and we do not permit summaries to stand in for reading. Positions are expected to change; announcing that yours has is the highest-status act here.

House rules

1
Argue with the strongest version of the other position, not the most convenient one.
2
A claim about magnitudes needs a source; a claim about motives needs restraint.
3
Changing your mind in public is the highest-status act in this circle.
4
Threads that stop being about the idea get closed or moved — not deleted.
