Marisa Diaz-Waian runs Merlin CCC, a public philosophy nonprofit best described as “philosophy in and by the community.” Merlin’s mission is to create, develop, and provide a broad spectrum of unique, fun, and accessible opportunities for the Helena community to do, breathe, and live philosophy.

In this interview, Diaz-Waian discusses her appreciation for community-based philosophy and how the organization came to be.

“Merlin is a platform for learning from and with one another, rigorously examining and exploring ideas together, having fun with philosophy —
and for putting philosophy to task. It’s street, baby!”
