Philosophy Club Is Revived at LBCC

Sparks flew across the room as passions were ignited in the Diversity Achievement Center and 3 p.m. on Thursday.

The Philosophy Club has once again been rekindled.  Jacob Tudor, the president of the Philosophy club, as well as a Biology/Psychology major at LBCC, wanted to start the club in order create discussions.  Jacob said, “We have the capacity to touch one another, but we don’t seem to do that.”  

The club will provide a space that is open for discussions about open ended subjects and topics in a non negative manner.  “Any questions they have or want, they should come,” said Jacob.  The club is for anyone who likes to talk or likes to listen.  They will be enacting forms of social media and emailing lists that will be sent out online but you can always show up to a meeting and sign up there.

Jacob’s goal for the club’s future is to get involved in a lot of different other clubs on campus.  “We are in a rare position where it is acceptable to reach out to other clubs and ask ‘what are you up to’ and ‘why,’” said Taylor, a Communications Major at LBCC.  The club is looking to host co events with other clubs in order to promote the club as well as speak on ideas in an informal setting.  “Like Theatre club.  What does it mean to be another person? What does it mean to be a veteran?” said Jacob.

The club will be meeting biweekly on Thursday from 3 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. in the DAC.   Joey Tuminello, who is a faculty member in the Philosophy Department, can be reached at tuminej@linnbenton.edu.  “Who we are is a conversation,” said Joey.  As they are a new club, they are open to the opinions of new members for meeting times, agenda’s and topics of discussion.
