Philosophy for Plebs

Philosophy for Plebs is a seminar series taking place at ark books in Copenhagen (Møllegade 10) almost monthly since September 2024.

Philosophy for Plebs is organized and run by Arshia Eghbali, Benjamin Derksen,and Trish May Knudsen.

Philosophy for Plebs (or Phil4Plebs, as it’s known among the community) takes up themes from high-brow texts and tries to make some sense of them in an everyday, “plebeian” context. Our goal is to take philosophy out of the academy and see how the doctrines hold up in the milieu of everyday life. What can everyday life offer the life of the mind? And vice versa: what can the life of the mind offer everyday life?
