Philosophy Discussion Forums
A Humans-Only Philosophy Club

The Philosophy Forums at OnlinePhilosophyClub.com aim to be an oasis of intelligent in-depth civil debate and discussion. Topics discussed extend far beyond philosophy and philosophers. What makes us a philosophy forum is more about our approach to the discussions than what subject is being debated. Common topics include but are absolutely not limited to neuroscience, psychology, sociology, cosmology, religion, political theory, ethics, and so much more.

This is a humans-only philosophy club. We strictly prohibit bots and AIs from joining.

Please reply here to nominate books for Philosophy Book of the Month.

In about a week, I will compile the nominations and create a new topic with a poll for all Philosophy Book of the Month participants to vote on the nominations.

Then whichever book gets the most votes will be our next Philosophy Book of the Month! :D

I choose the second book Inner Engineering: A Yogi's Guide to Joy by Sadhguru as it has had a great impact on my thinking and my life.

Hi Scott,

We would love to see either the poll or the chosen book as the BOTM for the month of September.

Thank you

"Swimming Stars" by Julie Wright
"Teaccups and Lies" by Cherie Harbridge Williams
Sorry, only one nomination per person.

I have just now posted the official poll to vote between the nominations.

Due to how the timing worked out, the poll is actually for the October BOTM.

I know this is late, and it’s not a pure philosophy book, however it brings up MANY philosophical questions if you’re open to thinking about them-
I would nominate “Crisis of Conscience: The story of the struggle between loyalty to God and loyalty to one’s religion” by Raymond Franz
