Merlin CCC

Merlin CCC We’re a Helena-based public philosophy non-profit dedicated to enriching lives and strengthening the community & environment through philosophy. Waian.

We believe in the value and relevance of philosophy and its ability to transform and improve our everyday lives. We also believe that it is (and should be) a resource for everyone — regardless of background or age — and that it is not meant to be closed away in some book, but to be lived. Our organization’s mission (and what it is that we do) is create, develop, and offer a wide-range of unique &

accessible opportunities for people to enjoy the fun & joy of doing philosophy together, and the transformative ways that philosophy can improve and enhance our lives in practical, empowering, and meaningful ways. Our programs are free to the public and support critical, creative thinking, the exchange of ideas, and the application of philosophy to everyday life. More broadly, they are opportunities for people of all backgrounds and ages (from children to elders) to gather, to learn from and with one another, and to uniquely cultivate their personal and civic selves. The idea for Merlin CCC was first conceived in 2012, shortly after the death of the founder’s father, Lee B. Preliminary steps for its not-for-profit operation began the following Spring and, in the Summer of 2014 with the filing of our Articles of Incorporation, Merlin took flight as a non-profit and received its tax-exempt status less than a year later in April of 2015.
