PHILOSOPHY + ART CAFE' : Readings/Discussions on what matters most

Welcome to our group! Please try one of our philosophy cafe's. Since January 2018, we've been meeting most weeks upstairs at the Fresh Market grocery store on St Charles Ave. We run informal discussions on a pre-determined topic in a public space. In a slightly more formal setting , we also explore ethical issues, especially what character, liberty, virtue are and what living the ethical life together ought to be like. Finally we offer reading- or video-based structured discussions on all things "theory" -- social, critical, political, art, literary, cultural theory or on notorious characters in philosophy such as Aristotle, Marcus Aurelius, Friedrich Nietzsche, Michel Foucault ...
We are open to and respectful of all "moderate/subversive" views, as we like to put it. We value deliberation as our preferred mode of holding discussions. There's always a moderator or two to nurture order and respect so that we can all feel safe and be genuinely engaged. RSVP and show up! [We value SMALL group discussions. RSVP early or you might be kept out.]
