Our Mission
Logos is a youth-led philosophy organisation working to make philosophy accessible. Most students never encounter it at school, and certainly not in the years when it would do them the most good.
It matters twice over. It sharpens how you think and argue, and it shapes the moral and ethical compass you end up carrying.
So we run three things: a podcast that unpacks difficult ideas with professors and people working in the field, a student-led journal, and a set of introductory resources for anyone starting from nothing.
Register your interest
Leave your name, email, grade and school so we know how many students are interested. It commits you to nothing, and it's how you hear about our upcoming workshops.
Four fields, takes under a minute. We use this only to gauge how many students are interested and which schools they are at. Nothing is shared with anyone outside Logos. Ready to enter properly? Head to the submission guidelines.
