Pour saluer l'arrivée du printemps, le café philo du mardi 5 mai portera sur le thème : la nature. **Pour remercier l'établissement qui nous accueille, nous invitons chaque participant à prévoir de consommer au moins deux plaisirs à la carte (liquides ou solides).** *“Dieu, autrement dit la nature : une seule et même chose.”* Baruch Spinoza *“L'homme est la nature prenant conscience d'elle-même.”* Élisée Reclus *“La nature, pour être commandée, doit être obéie.”* Francis Bacon Chaque jour on nous parle de la nature, et pourtant, bien malin sera celui qui pourra la définir précisément. Évidence si grande qu’elle-même fonctionne comme un synonyme du mot évidence, elle a en même temps requis des premières civilisations l’invention de mythologies complexes pour révéler ses visages multiples et changeants, de la croissance des blés au déferlement terrible des laves, en passant par la puissance des flots et la trajectoire des étoiles : la nature est la force de développement toujours recommencée dont le mouvement est celui de la vie elle-même, avec ses naissances et ses destructions, à la fois mère nourricière et marâtre cruelle autrice des maladies, des baies toxiques et de l’échelle très aristocratique de la prédation. Face au monstre sauvage, le mot “nature” et toute notre culture ont été pendant des siècles les instruments nous permettant de l’apprivoiser, puis, avec l’aide de la physique et des autres sciences, de comprendre et d’exploiter des ressources dont nous tirons un confort et une puissance matérielle jamais égalées auparavant, au point que le danger réside désormais moins dans la nature elle-même que dans ce que l’être humain en a fait. La culpabilité d’avoir dénaturé la nature induit en nous une nostalgie de l’origine grâce à laquelle la nature devient l’argument ultime du marketing et le critère de toute éthique, dont la biodiversité pourrait être un des symboles, et le vert ou le bleu les couleurs. Et si la force aveugle par laquelle l’être humain déséquilibre la planète était la même que celle qui a massacré les innocents dinosaures ? Notre plus grande angoisse serait de nous rendre compte que la nature n’est pas une mère ou un dieu mais nous-mêmes et que nous sommes pleinement responsables de notre destin. Questions principales \- L’homme fait\-il partie de la nature ou la dépasse\-t\-il ? \- Par quel critère distinguer ce qui est naturel de ce qui est artificiel ou culturel? \- Pourquoi sacralisons\-nous la nature tout en nous prémunissant contre elle ? \- Trouver la nature belle et lui donner des droits\, est\-ce forcément la personnifier? Ouvrages-clés \- Aristote\, Physique\, IVe s\. av\. J\.\-C\. \(lien\) \- Lucrèce\, De Rerum Natura\, Ier s\. av\. J\.\-C\. \(lien\) \- René Descartes\, Méditations Métaphysiques\, 1641 \(lien\) \- Philippe Descola\, Par\-delà nature et culture\, 2005 \(lien\) Références \- Grizzli man\, film de Werner Herzog\, 2005 \(lien\) \- Le Siècle vert\.

Join us as we get together to see your choice of two VERY different movies – one sweet and wholesome – the other a terrifying folklore horror! Option 1 is the fun whodunnit-action-comedy-mystery led by Hugh Jackman, THE SHEEP DETECTIVES! Option 2 is the top-reviewed supernatural-horror-thriller starring Adam Scott, HOKUM! Here’s a description, trailer and plan for this event: THE SHEEP DETECTIVES: Every night a shepherd reads aloud a murder mystery, pretending his sheep can understand. When he is found dead, the sheep realize at once that it was a murder and think they know everything about how to go about solving it. The film is directed by Kyle Balda and take a look at this ensemble cast: Hugh Jackman, Nicholas Braun, Molly Gordon, Hong Chau and Emma Thompson and the voices of Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Bryan Cranston, Chris O'Dowd, Regina Hall, Patrick Stewart, Bella Ramsey, Brett Goldstein and Rhys Darby. TRAILER: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pyZI5oM6hWk HOKUM: In this film, a horror writer visits an Irish inn to scatter his parents' ashes, unaware the property is said to be haunted by a witch. It is written/directed by Damian McCarthy stars Adam Scott, Peter Coonan, David Wilmot, Florence Ordesh and Austin Amelio. Hokum premiered to rave reviews at this year’s SXSW Festival and is being release by Neon. It is earning a stellar 97% positive rating on Rotten Tomatoes, which calls it, “A classic haunted house story enriched with atmospheric folklore and perfectly-timed shocks!” TRAILER: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EVCIK_MPyhc PLAN: We’ll plan for a 7pm-ish showing of both films and will meet inside the theater lobby about 20 minutes before showtime. If the showtimes work out, we’ll try to get both groups together for a bite before the shows! Complete details and showtime will be confirmed/announced as the date gets closer. Look forward to seeing you there, Dan

The topic for May is "Ink" Speak Easy: true stories, told live. The idea is simple: an audience, an open microphone, and great stories. Hilarious, gripping, poignant- it's up to you. Audiences are invited to come to listen or come to tell as folks from all corners of Columbus offer their stories live on stage! Held at Wild Goose Creative's warm, intimate space, this night of tales occurs on the 3rd Thursday of every month. Doors open at 6:30 pm, show starts at 7:00 pm. Please arrive early if you want to tell, as we generally only have room for a limited number of tellers, and the sign-up sheet has a tendency to fill up fast. Formed around the idea that people need stories--they're what hold and draw us together--SpeakEasy celebrates the strangeness and commonness of being human. And in a world of smartphones, Facebook, Twitter, and more . . . it gives people a real, breathing, in-person way to connect. The night is geared for true stories of all kinds, taking the best tales told around kitchen tables, in darkened pubs, on the street corner, and at late-night parties and giving them an audience. Speak Easy is also a great outlet for performers, writers, and artists looking to share their favorite stories and perfect their skills. We strongly encourage tellers to please tell the story rather than read it so we keep within the spirit of good storytelling and stay engaged with the audience. All are welcome. Hang around after the show for a drink and build community!

**Optional movie afterwards**

Join us as we get together to get together to help those in need at this CMG Gives Back event! We have a great little community of Movie Group friends so rather than see a movie this time, we’ll help “create a better world” by helping serve those in need. Here are complete details and our plan for this event: FAITH MISSION – GRANT KITCHEN: The Faith Mission kitchen and dining room serves residents 3 meals a day, every day of the year. For this event, our group will help prepare food, serve meals, assist residents in the dining room, wash dishes, and clean surfaces. PLAN: We will be preparing / serving / cleaning for BRUNCH from 10:30am to 12:30pm and have space for a total of 7 volunteers. Please arrive at 10:20am and wear closed-toe shoes and long pants. LOCATION: Faith Mission – Grant Kitchen is located at 245 N. Grant Ave. Enter the kitchen at Dock 1 (in the back of the building), indicated in the attached map. On-site parking in the adjacent lot and street parking is available in the surrounding area. Below are some links / attachments with additional info/details: IMPORTANT REMINDER: Our group will be providing all of the volunteers on this day so a firm RSVP count is essential. Please only sign up if you are certain you’ll be able to attend. If something unavoidable comes up, please try to update your RSVP no later than one week prior to the event. With few exceptions, no shows or cancelations within 1 week of the event will not be eligible for future CMG Gives Back events. I appreciate your understanding as we try to ensure the agencies have the volunteers needed to provide the essential services they provide to the vulnerable population they serve. Our Partner Agency for this event is Lutheran Social Services! A huge THANK YOU to all of YOU for volunteering at this (and any of our previous) CMG Gives Back events! Should be another good/fun/meaningful time together, Dan
