The Socrates Café — Sunday Morning at Motion Coffee
About the event
Philosophical discussions about fundamental human questions.
It’s not a lecture! It’s participants like you who make the discussion a success, organizers just facilitate it.
We bring our most puzzling questions - along with creativity, curiosity and genuine interest to enrich ourselves with perspectives of others. This usually makes Socrates Café event a truly inspiring one for people with very different backgrounds. We discuss, we inquire, we think aloud - respect is the main rule.
Here is a list of questions we have previously discussed: [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/133sfywQ81G2jcQ4acXESK2-BCosHipvMNQ7w1pj1WL8/edit?usp=sharing](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/133sfywQ81G2jcQ4acXESK2-BCosHipvMNQ7w1pj1WL8/edit?usp=sharing)
Some practical stuff:
1. Please try to arrive on time so that you can participate in the whole discussion. For those on the waitlist, an overflow group can be self-organized if there is another moderator and nearby venue available. 2. The cafe has reserved 16 seats for us because we have a good relationship with the owner. We would appreciate it if you help us maintain that and treat the space with the same respect you would when you use other cafes. 3. It is sometimes necessary to challenge others' ideas in the process - you are welcome to challenge ideas as long as it does not turn into something personal with the person who presented the idea.
You can read more background about Socrates Café in the Meetup group description, and if you have any questions - feel free to ask.
