This Wittgenstein Reading Group meets about one a month in term times at St Hilda's College, Oxford UK.

Meetings are from 5pm-7pm.

They consist of discussion of about 20 pages of text which members have read beforehand.

Members include fellows, current graduate students, and other interested parties who have studied philosophy.

The convenor is Richard Gipps. Please contact him at rgtgipps@hotmail.com to ask about opportunities/requirements for joining.

The book we are currently reading/discussing is Philosophical Investigations.

A philosopher who is not taking part in discussions is like a boxer who never goes into the ring. (Drury, quoting Wittgenstein, 1930; the analogy perhaps has its limitations...)
