Hi and welcome to our next Socrates Café philosophy meetup! Do you have a hunger for deeper understanding of yourself and the world? Do you value deep, honest and respectful dialogue? If yes, then this meetup will be very interesting for you. • WHAT IS A MEETUP ABOUT? At every meetup we have a discussion using Socratic method: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socratic_method We ask, answer and discuss questions and ideas to stimulate critical thinking and to widen our perspectives with new concepts and thoughts. The main purpose of these meetups is to enrich ourselves with the perspectives of others, not to convince others about our own perspectives. Our meetups are about our own philosophies of life and not necessarily what the great philosophers and academics have said or written. It is not a debating club or a platform for proselytizing. Instead, we place the emphasis on questioning, open mindedness and challenging our own assumptions while listening to and respecting the views shared by others. A Socrates Café meetup is considered a success when participants leave a discussion with many more questions than they had at the beginning. • WHAT TOPIC IS DISCUSSED AT THE MEETUP? Participants suggest topics at the beginning of each meeting. We then vote and choose that event's most popular topic for discussion. No academic training in philosophy necessary; just enthusiasm for exchanging ideas and points of view. Some examples of subjects chosen on previous meetups: * What ideals are worth dying for? * Why are we never satisfied? * Why is it that human beings know that the society is going wrong, leaders are well informed about it and things continue as is? * Is identity necessary? * How can it be that people in democratic societies are so obsessed with power? (Desire to be different, better, stronger than others) * What is friendship? • WHO PARTICIPATES AT THIS MEETUP? Anybody is more than welcome to join our meetups. Our events gather people from different backgrounds, different cultures, while no philosophical background is mandatory. Our usual participants are people that have a hunger for deeper understanding of themselves and the world. People that value deep, honest and respectful dialogue. The inspiration for Socrates Cafe originates with the book of the same name, written by the philosopher Christopher Phillips. (Socrates Cafe: A Fresh Taste of Philosophy, 2002). Phillips felt that the Socratic method of dialogue and discussion should be practiced not just in academic settings, but among everyday people interested in examining deep questions together. Hundreds of Socrates Cafe groups now exist around the world.

**Tornem al teatre!** I amb una obra que hem escollit perquè ens ha semblat molt interessant i molt d’actualitat… I a més, no ens podíem resistir a dos actors catalans que ens agraden moltíssim: el **Ramon Madaula i la Montse Guallar**. I escolteu, **que millor manera d’aprofitar la diada de Sant Jordi, que acabar amb un teatre**, un punt final (o no) d’un dia molt especial per nosaltres! Voleu saber de què tracta aquesta obra amb un títol tan característic *(i que alguna vegada tots hem pensat)*… **“Una bufetada a temps”**? Més enllà de l’argument, el que farem en aquesta sortida és endinsar-nos en un mirall de la nostra societat. *Qui no s’ha sentit aclaparat pel ritme del món actual? Qui no ha tingut ganes de dir “prou” davant de certes actituds?* L’obra és una invitació a reflexionar —amb aquell humor intel·ligent que només el Madaula i la Guallar saben construir— sobre els límits de la paciència, l’educació i aquestes veritats que sovint ens callem per ser *“politicament correctes”*. **Sinopsi:** L’avi d’un nen de vuit anys, després d’una rebequeria del seu net, li clava una bufetada. L’escola convoca la família a una reunió i anuncia la intenció de presentar una denúncia contra l’avi. I aquesta és l’espurna que fa que tot esclati. Ramon Madaula i Montse Guallar protagonitzen aquesta comèdia que retrata amb sentit de l’humor i ironia com n’és de difícil educar un infant. Un debat de tremenda vigència sobre els models d’educació i les eines disciplinàries que podríem considerar acceptables. *A on? Quan?* **DATA :** 23/04/2026 – **HORA :** 19:30h – **LLOC :** TEATRE VILLARROEL C/ Villarroel, 87 – 08011 – Barcelona **PREU:** 27€ *COM RESERVAR PLAÇA?* ✔ Et pots apuntar directament per la nostra pagina principal ([https://culturaiocibarcelona.com/activitats/teatre-una-bufetada-a-temps/](https://culturaiocibarcelona.com/activitats/teatre-una-bufetada-a-temps/)). ✔ A la mateixa pagina pots realitzar el pagament a traves d’una plataforma segura amb tarjeta o PayPal.

¿Cómo orientarnos hacia una vida plena? Descubre las claves de Aristóteles en un encuentro vivencial y reflexivo. Aristóteles no solo fue uno de los grandes pensadores de la historia, también fue un observador incansable de la realidad. Su filosofía nació del asombro, pero también del contacto directo con la naturaleza, la experiencia y la vida cotidiana. Para él, comprender el mundo era inseparable de aprender a vivir mejor. **En este Filomeetup exploraremos cómo Aristóteles unió filosofía y ciencia sobre la vida. Cómo tomar mejores decisiones, el poder de los hábitos y, en definitiva, cómo orientarnos hacia una vida más plena.** Será un encuentro vivencial, con ejercicios y reflexiones que podrás llevarte a tu día a día. Herramientas filosóficas para tu día a día.

**Aquesta activitat té un aforament limitat i les places s'assignen a través del sistema d'inscripció de Meetup. Les places obtingudes es reservaran fins al dia de la trobada al moment en què el grup hagi seleccionat el tema de debat. Si arribeu més tard d'aquell moment, la vostra plaça podrà ser cedida a una altra persona.** Hola i benvinguts al nostre proper Meetup de filosofia de Sòcrates Cafè! Vols una comprensió més profunda de tu mateix i del món? Valores el diàleg profund, honest i respectuós? Si és així, aquesta trobada serà molt interessant per a tu. Es tracta d'una reunió bilingüe; on podrem intervenir tant en català com en espanyol. **ON ENS TROBEM?** Café de l'Opera (NOMES 3 ABRIL!) **QUAN ENS TROBEM** Els divendres de 19:30 a 21:00 (HORARI ESPECIAL 3 ABRIL!) Si us plau, arribeu a temps. Començarem puntualment **QUANTES PERSONES ENS REUNIM** Es proposen sessions amb aforaments diversos, de manera que el nombre d'assistents pot variar cada setmana **QUÈ PASSA A LES REUNIONS** A cada reunió tenim una discussió utilitzant el mètode socràtic:[ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socratic_metho](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socratic_method)d. Fem, responem i discutim preguntes i idees per estimular el pensament crític i ampliar les nostres perspectives amb alguns conceptes i pensaments en els quals mai hem pensat. L'objectiu principal d'aquestes trobades és enriquir-nos amb les perspectives dels altres, i no convèncer els altres sobre les nostres perspectives. Les reunions són sobre les nostres pròpies filosofies de la vida i no necessàriament el que els grans filòsofs i acadèmics han dit o escrit. No és un club de debat ni una plataforma per fer proselitisme. En canvi, posem èmfasi en qüestionar, tenir una mentalitat oberta i desafiar les nostres pròpies suposicions mentre escoltem i respectem les opinions compartides per altres persones. Una reunió de Sòcrates Cafè es considera un èxit quan els participants surten de la discussió amb moltes més preguntes de les que tenien al principi **QUINS TEMES ES DISCUTEIXEN A LES REUNIONS** Els participants suggereixen temes al principi de cada reunió. Després votem i triem el tema més popular per discutir-lo. No és necessària una formació acadèmica en filosofia; només es requereix entusiasme per intercanviar idees i punts de vista. Alguns exemples de temes escollits a reunions anteriors \- Per quins ideals val la pena morir \- Per què mai estem satisfets \- Per què els éssers humans estem informats que la societat va malament i els líders també estan ben informats\, i no obstant això les coses continuen igual \- És necessària la identitat \- Quin és el preu ètic i l'avarícia \- Què és la postveritat \- Com és possible que les persones a les societats democràtiques estiguin tan obsessionades pel poder? \(Desig de ser diferent\, millor\, més fort que els altres\)\- Què és l'amistat **QUI POT PARTICIPAR EN AQUEST MEETUP** Qualsevol persona és més que benvinguda a unir-se a les nostres trobades. Aquests events reuneixen persones de diferents orígens i cultures, tot i que no és obligatori tenir formació filosòfica. Els nostres participants habituals són persones que tenen desig d'una comprensió més profunda de si mateixos i del món. Persones que valoren el diàleg profund, honest i respectuós

Arriba al Texas l’adaptació teatral de ***Permagel***, dirigida per **Victoria Szpunberg**, protagonitzada per **Maria Rodríguez Soto** i basada en la novel·la d’**Eva Baltasar**. Publicada el 2018, la novel·la va esdevenir un autèntic fenomen literari gràcies a la seva veu directa i plena d’humor negre, capaç d’abordar amb intel·ligència temes tabú com el desig lèsbic, la masturbació, el suïcidi i la maternitat. L’obra va sorprendre la pròpia autora i li va valer reconeixements com el **Premi Llibreter de Literatura Catalana** i el **Premi Ojo Crítico de Narrativa**, a més de ser finalista del prestigiós **Médicis Étranger**. L’adaptació teatral està per signada per **Victoria Szpunberg** i **Albert Pijuan**, i coproduïda per **Dagoll Dagom** i **Barc**, **Sinopsi** (segons prospecte teatre): El batec de la vida. El vertigen de desaparèixer. Una dona lesbiana i suïcida s’endinsa en un viatge interior on desafia la família, l’amor romàntic i fins i tot la pròpia idea de supervivència. A través de la lectura i el sexe, busca les taules de salvació per afrontar una existència marcada per la lucidesa, la por i el desig de llibertat. La seva veu, poètica i feridora, vol trencar el permagel simbòlic que la manté allunyada de la vida. **Entrades:** https://espaitexas.koobin.cat/permagel **Nota important:** Cada participant gestiona la compra de la seva entrada. Us recordem que aquest grup no té cap interès comercial, és una simple trobada d'aficionats, apassionats, addictes i bojos pel teatre.

Join us for lunch/tea at Asterisk Supper Club to discuss our May book "Under the Oak Tree" by Suji Kim Lady Maximilian is the daughter of the powerful Duke Croyso, but she is rarely allowed outside her family’s sprawling castle for fear that her stutter will tarnish their noble name. When she is forced to marry Sir Riftan, a lowborn knight caught in one of her father’s schemes, Maxi doesn’t dare hope for happiness, let alone love. Her stumbling communication and his gruff manner sour their relationship before it can begin, and Riftan leaves without a word the morning after their vows are exchanged. Now, three years after their disastrous wedding night, Riftan has returned as a war hero. To Maxi’s surprise, despite rumors that he was offered marriage to Princess Agnes, a beautiful and renowned sorceress, Riftan still wants Maxi for his wife. And when he comes to claim her, his longing becomes a desire that bewilders Maxi, even as she is overcome by the scorching heat that Riftan’s presence ignites within her. As she learns to navigate the intricacies of her new life, Maxi will find herself and her courage, and discover that she is anything but powerless.

"The SOB is a ballet dancer. He’s the best ballet dancer that ever lived, and if I get a good chance I’ll kill him with my bare hands." - W.C. Fields In *City Lights*, Chaplin's Little Tramp meets a blind girl selling flowers who mistakes him for a wealthy man. When he learns that an operation may restore her sight, he sets off to earn the money she needs to have the surgery. He also befriends an alcoholic millionaire who only recognizes him when he is drunk. When the blind girl and her grandmother fall behind in the rent and face eviction, he tries working and even enters a boxing competition to raise the money they need. Regarded as Chaplin's masterpiece, *City Lights* has been ranked on more than seventeen "100 greatest movies of all time" lists. Orson Welles cited it as his favorite picture. *City Lights* is available for streaming on Amazon Prime, Hulu, HBOMax, Tubi and PlutoTV. The Columbus Library lists three copies on blu-ray and eight copies on DVD. Watch the movie on your own, then join us upstairs at East Market to discuss the film.

SCHEDULE: 10:00 - SESSION 1: quick intros. 10:10 - timer starts: write for 1 hour. 11:10 - chat / take off / keep writing. OPTIONAL SOCIALIZING happens at 11A-11:30ish. Writing is very solitary. Connecting (and sometimes even commiserating) with other writers is a cool thing. BEING LATE IS OKAY: just show up and get settled, then check-in with me after the session. (I’ll be the person with the Shut Up & Write! sign.) If you were on time, please be willing to make room for the friendly latecomer. Happy writing and I look forward to seeing you! • What to bring Whatever you need to be able to write! Bring earbuds/earplugs if you want to block noise or the occasional conversation by other patrons. Electrical outlets are limited, so charge your devices before whenever possible. See you at The Café on Saturday!
