Philosophy and Coffee @ Heritage Park in Old Town

Join us to discuss Martin Heidegger’s short essay The Question Concerning Technology (1954). Heidegger presents technology as not merely a set of tools, but a framework that generates its own reality, determining in advance what counts as real or valuable.

What to expect:

• Free event
• Casual attire — come as you are
• Laid-back, chill vibe
• No expertise required
• No reading ahead necessary - it helps to get a good understanding as we don't have enough time to get through whole texts but we will cover the big concepts from each work.
• No pressure to speak — listening is participation
• Bring a chair! Outdoor seating is uncomfortable.
• Bring a sunhat

This is not a lecture, debate club, therapy group, or religious study. It’s an informal, open discussion centered on original source material, curiosity, and respectful listening.
We'll provide discussion prompts and share useful links to source material for anyone interested, but showing up is enough.
☕ Coffee encouraged
🪑 Please bring your own chair for comfort (the seating in the outdoor classroom does not have back support)
🌳 Outdoor setting
Location:
Next to the outdoor gazebo at the end of Heritage Park Old Town.
Come for ten minutes or stay the whole time.
Bring curiosity—or just bring yourself.
