Become a Contributing Philosopher - The Walled Garden Philosophical Society

Contributor Application

It is the mission of The Walled Garden Philosophical Society to build a global community of individuals who are dedicated to the pursuit of truth, wisdom, virtue, beauty and divinity wherever they may be found, offering only our individual Actualisation, alleviation of avoidable suffering, and collective excellent works as the measure of our success.

Contributing Philosophers are the heart of our organisation. They offer their most important works, including podcasts, writings, music and poetry, and they serve as Philosophical Mentors to our students, both in group and one-on-one sessions.

We encourage you to discern whether or not you you believe that you fit within our community as a Contributing Philosopher. If you discern that you do, we’d encourage you to apply below.

We generally take between 3 and 6 weeks to discern applications.
