The Socrates Café — Sunday Morning at Motion Coffee

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.

Some practical stuff:

There are some topics that may be worth revisiting, but of course both old and new questions are equally welcome!

1. Everyone is welcome, but not all behaviors are welcome. If there is anything that may prevent you from participating in a respectful discussion, leave them outside before you come into the discussion. If you cannot do so, you will be asked to leave.
2. Please try to arrive on time so that you can participate in the whole discussion. It also makes it easier to organize the groups if everyone is here at the beginning. If you are running late, please give us a heads up.
3. If you cannot make it, please cancel as soon as possible before the event - otherwise you will be marked as a no-show. Frequent no-shows will be moved to the waiting list in future meetups. For those on the waiting list, last-minute spots may be available due to no-shows, so please keep an eye on your notifications.
4. It is sometimes necessary to challenge others' ideas in the process - you are welcome to do so without attacking the person who presented those ideas.

You can read more background about Socrates Café in the meetup group description, and if you have any questions - feel free to ask!

See you soon!
