Philosophical Society
by bluecliff

The greek word philosophia is a compound of philos: friend, or lover and sophia: wisdom
A philosopher is therefore a lover of Wisdom, and boy is that chick wild! Over 2000 years old and counting, she's been with some of the greatest minds of all time, had a long term relationship with Religion during the Dark Ages, and now she has an open relationship with this slick new guy: Science. Will it last?

Find this out, and more, at
the stupendously epistemological, the discomfortingly metaphysical and downright irritatingly skeptical Philosophical Society!


In short:
Post documentaries about you favorite philosopher, lectures, debates, even intelligent youtube user videos with a philosophical tint (careful with those).
