Five Seats, Infinite Questions

An intentionally small weekly online meetup for relaxed, thoughtful philosophical conversation.

Each event is built around 3–6 questions, suggested by attendees or chosen by the host. We’ll spend up to around 20 minutes per question, depending on how the conversation flows. The question list will be posted in the event comments on the Thursday before the meetup, so everyone has time to think it over.

The group is intentionally small: around five open attendee places, plus a small core group. The aim is to create a friendly space where everyone can take part, rather than disappear into a sea of muted rectangles.

No expertise is needed. You do not need fully formed opinions, prior reading, or a working relationship with Kant, Hegel, or Heidegger. Half-formed thoughts, tentative objections, and “I’m not sure, but…” are very welcome.

This is not a lecture, debate club, or name-dropping contest. Just bring curiosity, kindness, and a willingness to think out loud.

The goal is a good conversation, not a final answer.
