Philosophy in the Wild

Philosophy in the Wild is a project run by Maja Sidzinska, Zach Agoff, Mike Gadomski and I dedicated to exploring the potential for philosophical inquiry outside its typical technological, built environment.

We host an annual outdoor conference where participants camp for two nights and present on environmental philosophy during the day. Past keynote speakers include Karen Kovaka, Brendan Cline, Romy Opperman, Ryan Johnson, and Blake Francis. We just wrapped our summer 2025 edition (our fifth!) at Sideling Hill Creek State Park, Maryland.

Over the past several years, we have also collaborated with the Public Philosophy Journal on a special issue, which can be freely accessed here. Within, you can find my article “Let’s Rewild Philosophy” which presents the philosophical case for a more wild flavor of philosophy.
