Philosophy Portal is an online education platform offering introductions to foundational philosophical texts in the modern world. However, starting in 2024 Philosophy Portal is also becoming an event space for members. The events are a space to explore philosophy in a more open concept, with a focus on bringing together leading thinkers and practitioners in the liminal web together with a community of thinkers that have dedicated extended periods of time to philosophical reflection. Each month we will host four different events that are thematically aligned under a similar direction. In March all Portal members will get discounted access to a conference hosted by The Center for Process Studies and the California Institute for Integral Studies focused on Dr. Iain McGilchrist’s “The Matter with Things”. You can find more about each of the events that you get access to for becoming a member below:

  1. Concept Cave

    Is a space to learn and discuss fundamental concepts. Each month Dr. Cadell Last will highlight a specific concept from the foundations of modern philosophy and open up a space for discussion on how we may relate to or think with that concept today.

  2. The Edge

    Is a space to walk the razor’s edge of contemporary thought and practice. Each month a thinker walking the “razor’s edge” of a new idea or collision between ideas will be invited to share with us what they have newly discovered or created in the real.

  3. Thought Lab

    Is a space to learn from and think with a thought leader about our shared becoming. Each month a thinker who has spent an extended period of time mediating core ideas will be invited to help us think with these ideas and relate them into our daily life.

  4. Real Talk

    Is a space for free association and full speech inspired by liminal thinkers and living ideas. Each month a thinker whose life practice directly engages the real will be invited to inspire us to explore deeper parts of ourselves using the method of free association.

What is Philosophy Portal Membership?

Community Mind

Public Events

Our community gets together on a monthly basis for a livestream. As every month at The Portal focuses on a different theme, explored through four different event-windows, the livestream is meant for a collective processing of the month, and also an offering to the larger liminal web to share our intellectual thinking journey together.
