ποΈ WHAT'S PRACTICAL PHILOSOPHY ABOUT?
Practical Philosophy is a weekly meet-up that brings critical thinkers together for an opportunity to dive deep on a topic, practice communicating, and build a community. No βofficialβ philosophy knowledge is required! π
The aim is to make philosophy accessible to everyone, not just academics. Each week, we choose a topic to develop our critical thinking and communication skills while exploring it together. π
π HOW DOES IT WORK?
Each week, we select a topic and discuss it. The topic is shared in the WhatsApp group, along with discussion points to kick off the conversation.
When groups exceed 5-6 people, we break into smaller groups to maintain a conversational flow. Please comply when asked to move to another table.
General Meeting Agenda:
- 16:00-16:15 - Arrival and casual chat.
- 16:15-16:25 - Introduction to Practical Philosophy and the week's topic, along with guidelines.
