I guess, there aren't book discussions of philosophy books in science book discussion forum .
So which is the apt forum where one can ask experts about their views on a book on philosophy?


Also another point in general : how to know whether a thread exists for a book discussion , is there a way other than search function. i.e can one open a thread just as a query whether a particular book has been discussed or not?

note - please move the thread to apt forum in case it doesn't fit in general discussion.Newbie here so not sure if this should come in which forum . :smile:
