We often think of reasons as tools for justifying our choices. But if that’s all they are, why is it that we can feel “reasonless” in the middle of doing something — or confident in a choice we can’t explain to anyone else? In our next Curiosity Café we will begin by thinking about reasons as justifications. What makes a reason a good reason? What has to be true for a reason to actually justify an action — and why do we so often feel compelled to justify ourselves in the first place? Then we will turn to the question of where reasons come from. The answer seems deeply personal — your reasons feel like yours — yet philosophers argue that some reasons may be universal, rooted in human nature, culture, or ethics. But which is it? And does having a reason to do something mean, on some level, that you want to do it? Finally, we ask: can any choice be fully justified? The “Why Game” suggests that however good your reason is, someone can always ask why again. What does this justificatory regress mean for the choices we make and what responsibility do we have, individually and collectively, to seek good reasons for how we live and treat each other? Join our co-moderators Jesse Vriend and Marybel Menzies to explore these questions and more on May 5th! **Space is limited!** **Please obtain a “Pay-What-You-Can” ticket from Curiosity Café at [this link (click here)](https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/curiosity-cafe-reasons-justification-tickets-1988294578608) to attend this event. You need a ticket to be admitted.** See the above link for more info about tickets and other options including a limited number of free tickets. Come and hang out with us, grab food, and read through our handout from 6-6:30pm. Our structured discussion will run from 6:30-8:30pm with a 10 minute break in the middle. Hope to see you there! ***__________________________________________________________________*** This event is brought to you by [Being and Becoming](https://beingnbecoming.org/), a Toronto based non-profit. We aim to create community around exploring everyday concepts and experiences so that we may live more intentional, thoughtful, and meaningful lives. We use philosophy as a tool with which we can come to a richer understanding of the world around us. By offering activities, spaces, and other opportunities for conversation and co-exploration, we hope to enable the meeting and fusion of individuals and their ideas. Everyone is welcome, regardless of background: indeed, we believe the journey is best undertaken alongside explorers from a variety of disciplines, cultures, backgrounds, and experiences. Find out more about Being and Becoming [here](https://beingnbecoming.org/). About the Curiosity Café Series: For those of you who haven’t had the opportunity to join us at our Curiosity Cafés and are wondering what they’re all about: every two weeks, we invite members of our community to come out to the Madison Avenue Pub to engage in a collaborative exploration of our chosen topic. Through these events, we aim to build our community of people who like to think deeply about life’s big questions, and provide each other with some philosophical tools to dig deeper into whatever it is we are most curious about.
