Your Thoughts, Everyone’s Wisdom…

Urban Philosophy began as a goal to bring Philosophy back to the center of people’s lives. This initially sparked the Phronesis project, which continues to bring the biggest questions in Philosophy to the streets of the biggest city in Canada – Toronto!

Shortly after, Urban Philosophy decided to change direction a bit. Rather than focusing solely on the Phronesis project, we decided to create a platform in which anybody could share their philosophical views, this is the Urbanphilosophy.net you’re visiting right now. Now, not all of us are professional philosophers and the articles you find on this site are absolutely no substitution for professional publications (find those here). The goal here is merely that people are provoked to think about various issues, it seems unreasonable to expect that most of the participants/contributors to UP.net will be producing groundbreaking ideas. UP.net, then, should be viewed as something as a first step in ones intellectual journey, nurturing curiosity and bringing attention to certain issues. Given this, people might eventually move ‘above’ the level at which UP.net is operating, and our hope is that these people will stick around and help nurture philosophical curiosity in others!
