Welcome

Since 1987 the Apeiron Society of Calgary has been promoting its stated objective—the practice of philosophy—by hosting fortnightly meetings in the Fall (September to December) and Winter (January to April) at which speakers put forth ideas for discussion. 
 
We will be returning to in-person talks at the Scandinavian Centre at 7:00 pm in October 2024. Please check our Program page.

Anyone interested in becoming a member of Apeiron, or just learning more about the Society, is invited to write to the Board of Directors at [email protected]

Next Event

The Apeiron Society is excited to announce our next session of the 2024-25 season!
 
Ron Wilburn of the University of Calgary will deliver a talk entitled "Mansplaining Abortion".
 
In a famous (to some, infamous) paper, Judith Jarvis Thomson argues that unintended pregnancies resulting from failed contraception entail no obligation to carry fetuses to term. Critics maintain that her argument fails due to a faulty notion of “voluntarist responsibility.” Ron will respond to these critics.
