Philosophy Roundtable: Culture
Details
Please join us this Sunday to discuss the philosophy of 'Culture'.
This includes 'Culture' in different societies, as a term in itself, and as we experience in our everyday lives. Sometimes visible only when we experience a different 'culture'.
What's your view on culture?
We will meet at the Captain Melville at 2pm for a 2:15pm start sharp
Please note the new $5 mandatory donation entry fee (cash or transfer on day) to help with MeetUp subscription costs
There is no pre-requisite preparation necessary, nor a philosophical background, all that is required is a curious mind. These discussions are both a Socrates Cafe style discussion and lively metaphysical dojo in the spirit of learning, sharing thoughts and friendly debate. We welcome your self-reflections! In addition feel free to question assumptions and be prepared to have your own assumptions questioned.

Possible questions:
- What is 'Culture'? What is it's function?
- What are the most important aspects of culture? (eg language, art, stories? ), and is this common across cultures?
- What is the biggest cultural misunderstanding you've come across?
- Are there better and worse ways to express culture?
- How does culture change over time?
- Should culture be changed or preserved? If so, how?
- Is cultural appropriation wrong?
...and open to any other questions or curiosities about this topic people might have on the day!
Hope to see you there!
