**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?** Centre cívic drassanes Nou de la rambla, 43 https://maps.app.goo.gl/hMzFvMG8x864Tsyf6 **QUAN ENS TROBEM** Els divendres de 19:15 a 20:45. 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

A casual (but coordinated) coffee break to meet new friends, take a Zoom break, and get your AM caffeine fix. Stop by for a few minutes or stay the whole time. Bring a friend or wander in solo. Come for the coffee and company, or just bring a book to read while surrounded by other in-real-life, community-seeking humans. Come by every Friday, or just when you happen to be in town. Make it whatever you need it to be that week. It's not an \*event\* per se, but we hope these Friday meet-ups can become a fixture of the bookshop! Gathering spot will be in the downstairs area of the bookshop (near the Community Library). Coffee and tea are 1.50€ and can be purchased at the cash register upstairs.

Així que et convidem a una experiència íntima i totalment original: una versió de concert del gran mestre Giuseppe Verdi, **Rigoletto**, que et farà vibrar a pocs centímetres dels artistes, al cor de la preciosa **Llibreria Byron**. **BYRON és una llibreria-cafè , punt cultural de referència a Barcelona**. Un espai polivalent on *la literatura, la gastronomia i l’activitat cultural i social* es donen la mà per oferir un lloc únic a BCN. **Una llibreria amb gairebé 500 metres de prestatgeries, una gran sala d’actes i molts racons on seure a llegir, gaudir** **de presentacions literàries i degustar un bon cafè.** *Que veurem aquest dia?* De la mà del gran pianista **Elke Sanjosè**, i amb els artistes: ***Lucas Groppo*, *Alberto Espinosa*, Romina Krieger i Mariel Aguilar** **Una de les òperes més intenses de Verdi** arriba en una adaptació àgil i teatral amb tota la seva força dramàtica. La història del bufó **Rigoletto**, el seu amor per la seva filla *Gilda* i la crueltat del *Duc* es desplega en un format que potencia l\*‘emoció, el text i la psicologia dels personatges.\* Música en directe, narració i una posada pensada per a sentir cada matís d’aquesta tragèdia humana. **SINOPSI:** **Rigoletto** es un bufón en la corte del *duque de Mantua*. A pesar de ser una figura cómica, Rigoletto es muy inteligente y astuto, y el duque lo respeta por ello. Sin embargo, Rigoletto es muy protector de su hija *Gilda* y odia a la corte por su libertinaje y falta de moral. Un día, el duque de Mantua decide conquistar a Gilda, y Rigoletto teme por su seguridad. Para protegerla, Rigoletto la esconde en un lugar secreto y contrata a un asesino para matar al duque. Sin embargo, el plan de Rigoletto falla y, en lugar del duque, Gilda es raptada y llevada a la corte. Desesperado por encontrar a su hija, Rigoletto se enfrenta al duque y descubre que su hija ha sido seducida por él. En un acto de venganza, Rigoletto jura matar al duque. Sin embargo, su plan falla y Gilda muere en su lugar. **«Rigoletto»** es una historia **intensa y emotiva** sobre la *venganza, el amor y la traición*, y su música es igualmente impactante. **La obra es considerada una de las más grandes y populares óperas de Verdi y ha sido interpretada en teatros de todo el mundo durante más de un siglo.** ***RIGOLETTO***, de **Giuseppe Verdi** Adaptació per a quatre cantans i piano **Repartiment:** *Rigoletto — Lucas Groppo* *Duca di Mantova — Alberto Espinosa* *Gilda — Romina Krieger* *Maddalena / Condesa Ceprano / Narradora — Mariel Aguilar* **Piano:** Elke Sanjosè **Producció artística:** Romina Krieger **No t’ho perdis!

Anem a veure *“Beethoven”*, treball que entrellaça música i teatre a través de la figura de Ludwig van Beethoven i el polifacètic artista Xavier Albertí. **Important:** cada persona gestiona la seva entrada. Preu de l'entrada: 16 euros amb el descompte que ofereix el teatre. **BEETHOVEN** Protagonitzat per Xavier Albertí al piano, aquest espectacle-concert vol explorar la profunda petjada estètica i ideològica que el compositor de Bonn ha deixat sobre la nostra contemporaneïtat. Beethoven fou el gran reconfigurador de la peripècia musical. Sense ell, no només la música actual seria diferent: també el món occidental seria probablement un altre. Beethoven, doncs, és una contundent demostració del poder revolucionari de l’art gràcies a l’extraordinària empremta de la bellesa sobre els canvis socials i polítics. Gràcies a les emocions profundes que la cultura pot arribar a desvetllar. Direcció escènica i dramatúrgia: Xavier Albertí i Albert Arribas Text i interpretació: Xavier Albertí Vestuari: Manuel Mateos Il·luminació: Aurembiaix Montardit 70 min. Espectacle en català

This month's prompt concerns the idea of the “warrior philosopher” (seemed appropriate in these times)--that is someone whose understanding of violence, power, and justice is forged through direct experience of war. We are looking at Major General Smedley D. Butler, a highly decorated U.S. Marine raised in a Quaker (pacifist) tradition who later became a prominent critic of American militarism (there is a wonderful biography of Gen. Butler called "Gangsters of Capitalism") Butler's argument in *War Is a Racket* (1935): that many U.S. interventions were driven less by national defense than by corporate and financial interests, with Butler portraying himself as an enforcer for business and Wall Street. We can consider the moral ambiguity of his insider critique—whether complicity strengthens or undermines credibility and also consider some of the concrete reforms he proposed (e.g., “conscript” capital before soldiers, restrict the military to coastal defense, and have only those who fight decide on war). Butler’s life arc clearly changed from pacifist upbringing to warrior to antiwar crusader—and asks whether true understanding of peace requires firsthand knowledge of war, and what that implies about the cost of suffering. So do we need to suffer to understand suffering? Do we have to experience war to appreciate peace? As one more question: in the movie "A Few Good Men" Jack Nicholson's character says that "you have the luxury of not knowing what I know" so do most of us go through life oblivious to real violence and suffering? See you at Drunken Philosophy!
