The Sigma Club is a historic lecture series in the philosophy and foundations of physics, founded in 1987 by Michael Redhead at Cambridge, and moving to LSE in 1997. It is sponsored by the CPNSS and organised by philosophers of physics at KCL and the LSE. Meetings are Monday afternoons and are free and open to all.
