We use a knotty snake and wine as our logo. Snakes are the symbol of wisdom, which we want our new and young philosophers to have. The wine represents Plato's idea of symposium. We want to use them to hint the purpose of our publication program -- young but wise philosophers gather together to write, publish and explore more in philospophy, exactly how ancient Greek philosophers did. 

Why Start -- Quick Overview of New Philosopher

The founder Yaxin (Amy) Sun discovered the weakness on philosophy learning, that is, the huge gap between professional research and high school journals. It is hard for high school students to learn philosophy on their own, because of the massive amount of reading and advanced writing. Additionally, many schools don't offer philosophy learning -- or, many humanity subjects teens can touch in high school are limited. However, she thought the value of philosophy is underrated seriously, that, the subject inspires people most about thinking and analysis is ignored by so many students. By contract, those who show thick interest in philosophy turn to find it hard for learning. 

We don't expect for quantity. We aim for quality. It is the true nature of "Philosophy in Action". We cannot teach someone to be a philosopher, but we do provide the pathways you can try for approaching the dream. We need you, a new and curious philosopher, to be a real thinker, dreamer and creator.
