Ideality Refracted is a philosophical group. It is also a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit cultural organization. It services for people who have interest in philosophizing broadly guided by professional philosophy. The audience is mainly but not limited to North American Chinese. The main engagement is hosting salon events. It is founded in San Francisco Bay Area in 2023.

Rationality is the medium, via which the light of ideality is refracted. Doing Philosophy, in a way that connects the academics and the general, makes the difference. Our mission is to bridge the communication between the philosophical studies and the general public and to promote the human flourishing.
