Duration: 90 min
What to expect: "Cogito Ergo Sum"
We are kicking off the series focusing on Descartes - Mediations on First Philosophy. We will have 7 sessions during which we will discuss specific sections with pre-defined questions/themes. If you miss one or some of the sessions? No problem - as long as you read the relevant section, do join us!
How it works:
- Check-in (5–10 min): Discuss what was difficult or striking in the reading.
- Close reading (20–30 min): Read 1–2 key passages together and clarify terms.
- Discussion (30–40 min): Use guiding questions and link abstract arguments to examples.
- Wrap-up (5–10 min): Share one takeaway sentence and confirm reading for the next session.
House keeping rules:
We strive to offer a safe space for people to share thought-provoking conversations that will hopefully stay with you even after : )
1. Come prepared: Read the relevant sections for the sync ahead of time
2. Think for yourself (no chatgpt take aways!)
3. Every voice should be heard: Don't cut people off but also ensure everyone speaks succinctly to ensure everyone has a chance to speak
4. Keep it polite and civilized - It's not a debate competition to win.
