Our society was founded 100 years ago this year, in 1922. To celebrate we are throwing a Centennial Celebration. We are pleased to announce that on Wednesday the 25th of May, four esteemed former members and board members will be returning to offer philosophical talks and reflections on their time with the society. These will be combined with an afternoon reception – weather permitting, out of doors – and followed by a buffet dinner and an evening of celebration and conversation in our best philosophical traditions.

- We are only permitted to provide food and drink to members of our society, so make sure to pay the 40 krone for this year's membership if you haven't already. You can pay by Plusgiro 438972-2. Please mark your payment with your name and e-mail address.

- Spread the word! We would like to reach as many people who have supported us in the past or will support us in the future as possible. One of our aims has always been to create a space for philosophically-interested people to fall into conversation and friendship, and this event is no exception.
