Socrates Café Athens #1 • An Open Philosophical Discussion

An English-speaking group based on the Socrates Café concept: getting together to explore philosophical questions through conversation.

How it works

Everyone can propose a question. We vote on one, the person who proposed it briefly introduces it, and we discuss it together.

Questions can be about anything. For example:

• What makes us human?
• Could an AI ever deserve rights?
• Is technological progress necessarily human progress?
• Do we owe anything to future generations?
• Is an unpleasant truth always better than a comforting lie?

Bring a question you find genuinely interesting. No philosophy background or preparation needed.

A few rules

• Be on time
• Make room for others
• Challenge ideas, not people
• Give reasons, not just opinions

Practical

We’ll meet outdoors at Alsos Ilision and sit on the grass/stones so bring something to sit on.

The exact meeting point will be posted before the event.

If you RSVP and can’t make it, please update your RSVP so someone else can take the spot.
