Discussion & Debate

Bonjour à tous.tes ! Je m'appelle Emma, je suis l'organisatrice Practical Philosophy Paris :) Practical Philosophy est un mouvement né au Mexique et qui est présent partout dans le monde aujourd'hui. J'ai découvert Practical Philosophy au Canada et j'ai tellement aimé que j'ai décidé de l'importer à Paris (il y a aussi une branche à Lyon si vous n'êtes pas de la région). **🏛️ C’EST QUOI, LA PRACTICAL PHILOSOPHY ?** Practical philosophy, c’est un rendez-vous hebdomadaire où des esprits curieux se retrouvent pour creuser un sujet, affûter leur façon de s’exprimer et tisser des liens. Pas besoin d’être un pro de la philo pour participer, tout le monde est le bienvenu ! 😎 L’idée, c’est que la philosophie, ce n’est pas juste pour les profs d’université. Chaque semaine, on choisit un thème et on en discute pour aiguiser notre esprit critique et nos talents de communicants. C'est aussi une manière d'apprendre à mieux se connaître soi-même, en affirmant et argmumentant ce qu'on pense réellement. Bref, on bosse sur trois piliers : **Pensée Critique**, **Communication** et **Communauté** 🙌. **📓 COMMENT ÇA MARCHE ?** Chaque semaine, on se focalise sur un sujet qu’on décortique ensemble. Le thème est annoncé, souvent via le [groupe Whatsapp](https://chat.whatsapp.com/KkFwIL85vly3UefjyheHXh), avec quelques pistes pour lancer les échanges. Les thèmes sont très variés et toutes les suggestions sont prises en compte (la beauté, la richesse, la loyauté...) Quand on est plus de 7 ou 8, on se divise en petits groupes pour garder une ambiance fluide et éviter que ça ressemble à une conférence. **Déroulé type d’une soirée** Voici comment se passe une rencontre : * **19h00-19h15** : On arrive, on papote, on fait connaissance dans une ambiance détendue. * **19h15-19h25** : Petit topo pour présenter Practical philosophie le sujet du jour, les règles et le timing. * **19h25-20h45** : On se répartit en petits groupes, on se présente, on partage nos premières idées sur le sujet, puis on passe à une discussion libre. Des questions “d’amorce” sont là pour guider si besoin, mais rien d’obligatoire. * **20h45-21h00** : Tout le monde se regroupe pour faire le point. Chaque groupe partage un résumé rapide (1 minute) de ses conclusions. On termine par un mot de l’organisateur et une photo de groupe. * **Après 21h00** : La partie officielle est finie, mais c’est le moment parfait pour prolonger les discussions autour d’un verre ou d’un café, histoire de renforcer les liens. **🧧 COMBIEN ÇA COÛTE ?** C’est **GRATUIT** ! Si on se retrouve dans un café, on vous demande juste de prendre une conso. **💛 CE QUE LES GENS EN PENSENT** 🗣 *“Le Club de Philosophie, c’est un endroit où on construit ses propres idées à travers différents points de vue, sans qu’on nous dise ce qui est bien ou mal.”* – Ekam 🗣 *“J’ai accroché dès le premier jour (le sujet était l’autorité) et j’ai tout de suite senti que c’était ma place. C’est un espace où on apprend, on découvre de nouvelles perspectives, on booste sa pensée critique et on crée du lien avec des gens qui challengent nos idées tout en encourageant l’ouverture d’esprit.”* – Daniel **🤓 FAQ** * **Faut-il préparer ou lire quelque chose avant ?** Aucune préparation nécessaire ! On ne révise pas les grands philosophes, on veut savoir ce que **vous** pensez. Si vous avez une idée inspirée d’une religion ou d’une école de pensée, partagez-la, on en discutera. * **Y a-t-il une philosophie spécifique au centre des discussions ?** Non, pas de dogme ici ! On veut entendre toutes les idées, sans se limiter à une école particulière, pour muscler notre pensée critique. * **C’est surtout des mecs qui viennent ?** Pas du tout ! Contrairement à l’image de la philo dans un salon sombre, nos rencontres sont équilibrées et sans ambiance lugubre ! * **Je peux venir seul(e) ?** Oui, on encourage même ça ! :) * **Et si je suis en retard ?** On préférerait que vous soyez à l’heure ! On a 15 minutes de battement au début si besoin. * **Où se passent les rencontres ?** Le lieu est annoncé sur Meetup et dans notre [groupe Whatsapp](https://chat.whatsapp.com/KkFwIL85vly3UefjyheHXh). On vous conseille de rejoindre le groupe ! Pour découvrir les autres villes où le Club existe, checkez notre [site web](https://www.practicalphilosophy.club/). **LE CLUB DE PHILOSOPHIE PRATIQUE – LA PHILO POUR TOUS ! ✨** On organise des rencontres hebdomadaires en présentiel dans plus de 25 pays, comme le Canada, l’Espagne, le Japon, le Mexique et bien d’autres ! 🗺️ **\*\*\*** **Rejoignez notre [groupe Whatsapp Paris](https://chat.whatsapp.com/KkFwIL85vly3UefjyheHXh) 👈** **Suivez-nous sur [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/practicalphilosophyclub/) 👈** **Visitez notre [site web](https://www.practicalphilosophy.club/) 👈** **✨ IF YOU ARE AN ENGLISH SPEAKER YOU ARE VERY WELCOME.

**Step into the laid-back charm of Cosy Cave Conversations**, a Parisian philosophy chat that's more relaxed than a cat in a sunbeam 🐈 🌞 Gather with a bunch of easygoing souls, share thoughts on the good life and its mysteries, enjoy a beverage, and have a good laugh. A few things to be aware of: * **Please** **don't show up without a spot** (we aim to keep it cosy and we always have a waiting list these days — check if you’re on the list or the waiting list) * If it's your first event, it's essential you **turn up early, or at the latest on time (<7pm)** so you understand how it works, what the topic is and don't interrupt the session * The **session runs from 7pm to 8:30pm** where we focus on the discussion, but don't worry, you'll have a chance to socialise, introduce yourselves and continue the chat after the session. **If you’re running late** (the curtains are closed), that’s okay, but please wait to join us in the break rather than interrupting the session. * Please read the **tips below** for a good session before coming along **How does it work?** We embrace the café-philo method — proposing intriguing topics on the night (up to 3), choosing one together, and diving into everything from consciousness, community, death and god, while managing to keep it light and easy 🦦 **Forget the stiff atmosphere**, we're all about small groups (\~10 people) and unpretentious chats with no homework required. No need for a philosophy degree, just bring your open mind and a dash of curiosity. **Join us every Wednesday 19h-20h30 at Les Acolytes** — because pondering the profound is better with good company (and a pint). See you there! 🎉 A few tips for a great session: * come with an **open and curious mind** 🧠 * **prioritise listening to others and asking questions** without interrupting or long monologues 👂 * we put a strong **emphasise on giving everyone a chance to contribute to the discussion**, so try and be aware of how much space and time you take up when speaking 🐻‍❄️ * we prioritise **intellectual accessibility**: this is not an academic group therefore we ask to keep any philosophy jargon to a minimum and instead explain any concepts in plain english 🤠 * we are an **apolitical group** that focuses on discussing and exploring philosophical ideas without endorsing or aligning with any specific political or religous ideologies. Our aim is to encourage open, unbiased dialogue centered on philosophical inquiry within a safe and respectful environment 🐥

Join us on **April 8, 2026** at our Paris office for an evening at the intersection of data, AI, and public health, from making tap water quality transparent to every French citizen, to reimagining what clinical care looks like in 2030. Two speakers. Two projects. One shared conviction: complex data, in the right hands, changes lives. *** **6:30 – 7:15 pm \| Jérémy Greze\, Freelance Product × Data × Dev** **44 Volunteers, 10 GB of Open Data, 650K Visitors, and a Question in Parliament** *In October 2025, [dansmoneau.fr](http://dansmoneau.fr) went live — a site where any French citizen can check exactly what's in their tap water. Within days it was featured on the front page of Le Monde, with prime time TV coverage, and a question raised in Parliament. Budget: zero.* *Behind it were 10 GB of open government data, 44 volunteers from Data For Good, and the scientific expertise of Générations Futures. The data had always been there — public, collected monthly by health authorities — just buried and impossible to use. They made it accessible.* *This talk is the technical story of how they achieved this by designing the data pipeline, discovering that 10 GB is actually small data with the right tools, and rendering 24,000 water zones on an interactive map without crashing the browser. And if time allows — what the data actually reveals about PFAS, pesticides, nitrates, VCM, and perchlorate across France.* *** **7:15 – 8:00 pm \| Li\-Heng Fu\, Senior AI Solution Engineer\, Health & Life Sciences — Dataiku** **Building the Future of Care: Clinical AI in 2030** *"There are decades where nothing happens, and there are weeks when decades happen."* For decades, healthcare was a fortress of inertia — guarded by data privacy constraints, rigid workflows, and high-stakes accountability. Those walls are coming down. Not just because of technology, but because of the clinicians and builders choosing to lead the charge. Drawing on the latest Stanford ARISE AI research and emerging industry breakthroughs, Li-Heng will trace the shift from experimental benchmarks to real bedside applications — exploring the rise of multimodal diagnostic agents, ambient scribing, and autonomous healthcare assistants. The session closes with a harder question: as AI reshapes healthcare by 2030, what kind of patient-doctor relationship are we actually trying to build? *** The talks will be followed by open discussion and networking. Come ready to ask questions. *8 - 10PM: Meet & greet with drinks* ***Dataiku will only use your personal information to provide the product or service you requested and contact you with related content that may interest you.

Let's get together with a drink and discuss this book. *Nausea* is the story of Antoine Roquentin, a French writer who is horrified at his own existence. In impressionistic, diary form he ruthlessly catalogues his every feeling and sensation about the world and people around him. His thoughts culminate in a pervasive, overpowering feeling of nausea which "spread at the bottom of the viscous puddle, at the bottom of *our* time, the time of purple suspenders and broken chair seats; it is made of wide, soft instants, spreading at the edge, like an oil stain." Roquentin's efforts to try and come to terms with his life, his philosophical and psychological struggles, give Sartre the opportunity to dramatize the tenets of his Existentialist creed. The introduction for this edition of *Nausea* by Hayden Carruth gives background on Sartre's life and major works, a summary of the principal themes of Existentialist philosophy, and a critical analysis of the novel itself. [https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/298275.Nausea?ac=1&from_search=true&qid=xPeuEwvPc3&rank=1](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/298275.Nausea?ac=1&from_search=true&qid=xPeuEwvPc3&rank=1)

🍩🍰 Let's have a weekly deep talk in an intimate Parisian café, share a drink and have a good time with like-minded, lovely and chill people. 🥂☕ We're here to sip life in a childish, simple and non-serious way. 🙃 When was the last time you had a meaningful conversation? Or deepened your relationship with someone in your life? It's not easy to have a deep conversation. While small talk, which is typically casual and light-hearted, can help break the ice, it may not necessarily help you form a deep, emotional connection with someone. Whether it's with your friends, family, colleagues or romantic partners, having meaningful conversations is important for creating strong bonds. "Meaningful conversations help us understand ourselves and those around us better. They involve sharing important aspects of ourselves and actively listening, validating and connecting with others." We believe that a happy and healthy life is built on beautiful relationships and that loneliness kills us. That's it. It's not the number of friends that counts, it's the quality of the relationship. ✅ This group is adressed to : ● People who want to build deep, genuine and caring relationships in a small group that looks the same, where they feel comfortable and emotionally safe to talk emotionally and get intimate about anything in their lives. ● Simple, loving, kind, hyper/sensitive and lovely people who spend a lot of time in their bubble thinking about the meaning of life, passionate about personal development, philosophy, meaningful conversations, debates .... ⛔ Please don't subscribe if : ● You don't see yourself in the group's aims and beliefs. ● You're travelling for a short period of time and don't live or intend to live in Paris. ● You are not sure if you will be able to come, please update your status to allow others on the waiting list to join. An absence without notice will result in an irrevocable ban. Progress : ● ❗ For reservations, I'll send you a private Meetup message at least 5 hours before the meeting to confirm your reservation. If I don't receive a reply 2 hours before the meeting, I will send you a second message to let you know that you will be replaced by someone on the waitlist. ● 💚 We keep the session small, cosy and relaxed in a quiet place, prioritising regularity to encourage intimacy, connection, listening and speaking. (\~ 5/6 people) ● 🔖 On arrival, if you feel comfortable, you will be suggested to choose and associate several drawn Feelings and Needs cards to express how you really feel at the moment, to talk about ourselves and communicate effectively. ● 📝 The best way to make progress is to make the conversation easy and natural, with everyone making an effort to suggest and write down what you want to talk about. You can write down your favourite topics/questions before the meeting. The meeting is participative and invite everyone if you feel comfortable being a leader and a power of suggestion. Anyway, to keep the meeting running smoothly, I'll animate the meeting to make sure the conversation doesn't get wild or boring and I wouldn't hesitate to reframe people. In case of lack of inspiration we have a lot of deep conversation question card game which can help to find interesting questions. ● 🍕 (Not compulsory) After the meeting we can finish in a nearby restaurant for those who wish to relax or continue our conversation. Advice for a good moment : ● Leave your ego and mask at home, we are not here to impress anyone but to be ourselves with our strength, weakness, pride and shame. Come with an open/deep/emotional/complex thought and vulnerability. ● Ask open-ended questions and invite the other person to describe what a situation was like for them or how they felt. ● Don't hesitate to be vulnerable and share information about yourself if needed. Consider sharing personal information first to gain the other person's trust. ● Adopt an attitude of curiosity and genuine interest in what the other person is saying. Be thoughtful and try to put yourself in the other person's shoes so that you can see things from their perspective. Be truthful, caring and honest. ● Listen actively and ask follow-up questions. ● Be empathetic and offer emotional validation so that they feel seen and heard. It is forbidden to judge, but try to understand. ● ⏱ Be aware of your speaking time for Equally Speak. ● 🤫 Be aware never to provoke political or religious ideologies, but to accept differences of belief. Advice on non-violent communication can be given in the meeting to learn not to unintentionally hurt anyone when requested or needed. ● 🚨 Remember to maintain a safe, and benevolent environment. People who are considered to be disruptive, problematic or simply not in tune with the energy of the group will not be allowed to return. Finally, we're hug-friendly !!! 🤗

Join us for a relaxed silent-reading session in a warm and welcoming café/bar. Bring your current read (or grab a new one!), settle in with a drink or snack, and enjoy an hour or two of calm, focused reading alongside fellow book lovers. 📖 No pressure, no agenda—just a peaceful moment to unwind, read, and maybe chat a little afterward. 😊 This group/event is an english-speaking one ( although the books don't have to be). We'll try to find a cozy and comfortable nook to settle into but we can't guarantee total silence. So if you are easily distracted by ambient noise, we recommend you bring a pair of noise canceling headphones 🎧😌 Spaces are limited to 8 people, so feel free to RSVP and make yourself at home with us!

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.

[The Board Walks](http://www.theboardwalks.com/) are for curious people who love deep conversations. If that sounds like you, **bring a thoughtful topic** and join us for a 5-mile walk (10,000+ steps!). **HOW IT WORKS** **Step 1: Bring a topic** Before you arrive, think of **one** topic you want to explore. A question. A thought that's been on your mind. An obsession you want to geek out on. This is your ticket to the event. **Step 2: Circle up & share** We gather in a circle. Your friendly walk host gives a speech to set the tone. Everyone shares: your name, what you're grateful for, and your topic. That's it. 60 seconds. **Step 3: Walk, talk & float** We walk 5 miles. You naturally drift into conversation with 2-3 people at a time, pulled by topics that spark your curiosity. When you're ready to move on, just say: "I'm going to float!" **Step 4: Feel more alive** Two hours flies by. You're back where you started — but you feel different. More alive. More energized. More connected to yourself and others. That's why regulars join 20+ times. *For more details, read our [Orientation Guide.](https://www.theboardwalks.com/orientation)* **HOW TO BRING A GREAT TOPIC** A great topic = something you're genuinely curious about. Recent topics include: * "What are you passionate about right now?" * "What makes a good friend?" * "What's a belief you used to hold that you've completely changed?" * "How do you want to be remembered?" * "What would you do if money wasn't a factor?" Think of your topic like the dish you're bringing to our conversational potluck. If everyone brings an A+ dish (i.e. energizing, uplifting, expansive), we'll all walk away feeling lighter and brighter. **WHAT TO EXPECT** This isn't a fitness event with casual chitchat. It's a walking think tank where we explore life's big questions together, beyond small talk. *If you're looking for light banter or a standard networking event, this probably isn't the right fit.* But if you crave depth, genuine connection, and conversations that make you feel alive? You'll love it here. **FAQ** * Wear casual athletic attire and sneakers. It's a long walk! * We have multiple first-timers at each event. We work hard to create a welcoming, inclusive, clique-free space. * We welcome people of **all** ages, backgrounds, and industries who align with the [intention](https://www.theboardwalks.com/ground-rules) of this space. * Rain or shine, we've been out here nearly every week since July 2022. If the event is cancelled, we'll let you know. * Dogs, babies in strollers, parents, and friends are welcome — please text/email them the event link so they can RSVP and prepare a topic! **LOGISTICS** * If you'll arrive over 10 minutes late, we suggest skipping the event. It's hard to find us once we start walking, and your host can't answer messages during the event. * This walk is designed for everyone to *move together at the same steady pace* (about 20 min/mile).

The Humanist Monthly Program is our longest running event and still a community favorite. In the old days it used to be called "Going to HCCO" and we still like to think of it as our flagship event. We will be hearing from Becca Powell, Director of Advocacy and Outreach at Unchained At Last, an organization whose mission is dedication to ending forced and child marriage in the United States through direct services and systems change. Unchained At Last's mission clearly meshes and addresses several of our Humanist Ten Commitments. Becca will educate us about an issue many of us may not be familiar with--but should be. Food and drinks will be provided at the event. Feel free to show up a little bit early to hang out and talk. Going forward our meetings will be hybrid.

AI is changing how art is made. But when does it stop being your work and start being the machine’s? This month we're going to be doing a panel with with digital image, music, and written word artists, talking about at what point, while using AI in the creation process, does the work become not the artist creation? We encourage audience participation during this event that will be moderated by Chris Slee. Whether you’re deep in the field or just getting curious, come connect with others building and exploring AI in Columbus.
