Distinguished Society Advisory Board member Dr. James Madden, a professor of philosophy at Benedictine University, joins us for a colloquium this August focused on his 2023 book: Unidentified Flying Hyperobject: UFOs, Philosophy, and the End of the World. Bringing to bear a number of key philosophical figures (like Plato and Heidegger) and their philosophical frameworks in an effort to help us think more critically and therefore more deeply about the UFO phenomenon, Dr. Madden's book launches his own systematic philosophical inquiry - the first in a planned series covering a range of foundational questions related to UAP. (

Dr. Madden's book was reviewed in the most recent volume of articles in Limina. See our colleague's review and analysis at our Blog.) Join Us! Note: Event is open to Society members only.
