PhiloQuest 2027: Books & Movies
PhiloQuest is a year-long journey through books and films exploring politics, technology, human nature, and meaning.
Running continuously since 2021, it is a monthly discussion group where we examine a book or film and explore the ideas within. You can explore past editions and reading lists to see what we’ve covered over the years.
Sessions are not recorded.
Virtual meetups on the last Wednesday of each month at 7:00 pm CET (Madrid time).
All discussion materials, including the reading schedule PDF, will be made available to you via the Payhip library and sent via email upon registration. You will receive the Google Meet link and a calendar invitation at the beginning of each month.
The fees are €160/person (excluding VAT).
