For anyone fascinated by the humanities at OHS, there is a myriad of options of student organizations ranging from History to Debate, and today we will be highlighting one of them - the Philosophy Club. As defined by the Oxford Dictionary, philosophy is “the study of the fundamental nature of knowledge, reality, and existence, especially when considered as an academic discipline.” At OHS, Philosophy Club provides a space for students to ponder and discuss the significant, confusing, and difficult questions of life. With regular meetings to discuss a wide variety of related topics, it also provides a great connection to OHS’s renowned core curriculum. Check out this interview with club leaders Yining (‘23), Alinda (’24), and Esther (’24)!
