Dear Friends of the Philosophy Meetup!
It's with great joy that we announce another Philosophy Night! Saturdays aren't the same without their weekly dose of philosophy and community.
To that end, we are currently partnering with Maison de l'Afrique in Rosemont (a few mins away from Beaubien station).
**Meetup fee 12.00$**
Fees cover our operations, and black coffee, tea, and some snacks are included.

**Theme:** Do things exist beyond what we can perceive?
Idealism and realism are two ways of looking at reality. Idealism holds that reality is fundamentally mental, spiritual, or composed of ideas; physical objects are secondary or dependent on mind. Realism, by contrast, claims that the world exists independently of our perceptions—things are “out there” whether we notice them or not. There are other “isms” out there as well that are closely related to idealism and realism and we will invariably touch on those as well. These perspectives raise questions like: Is reality mental, material, or experiential? Join us for a lively, accessible discussion that will challenge assumptions and spark curiosity.

For those not familiar with the format, here is how the night will work:
Topics don't need to be strictly philosophical, they can be social, political or historical, anything that the group decides is worth discussing.
Come by to see old friends, make new ones, and have stimulating discussions with amazing open-minded people from all walks of life!
