The Metaphysical Society (Metafizz) is Trinity's real philosophy society whose purpose is to allow students to discuss philosophical issues in an informal setting.

The Metafizz hosts a paper given by a distinguished philosopher or student each week during the academic year, followed by a discussion, and a trip to the pub. The Society also organises daytime discussion groups (usually weekly) and occasional film nights. The Metafizz has published a number of undergraduate philosophy journals and usually holds an annual symposium.

Membership is open to anyone afiliated with the College – undergraduates, postgraduates and staff alike – and can be obtained at any meeting of the Society, or during freshers' week.

The Society maintains its own ever–growing library of philosophical texts, which the members are welcome to borrow. This can prove to be a very useful resource as the Trinity library's holdings, especially around essay submission and exam time, can become overstretched.

For up–to–date information and contact details please visit the Society's website and Facebook page (external). There is also a noticeboard just outside the philosophy office (room 5009).
