Thinking the unthinkable, imagining the impossible, and discussing the improbable

SFU’s Philosophers’ Café is a series of informal public discussions in the heart of our communities. Since 1998, this award-winning program has engaged the interests of scholars, seniors, students, philosophers, and non-philosophers through stimulating dialogue and the passionate exchange of ideas.

All Cafés are free to attend. No registration is required.

MARCH AND APRIL EVENTS CANCELLED

Due to concerns over COVID-19, all Philosophers' Café events in March and April have been cancelled, effective March 16, to help protect the health and safety of our community. We look forward to bringing the Cafés back soon.
