Is loneliness a personal failure or a social condition?

The Table is a small philosophy café for people who enjoy thinking deeply, exchanging ideas, and having real conversations.

We’ll read a short text in advance and spend the evening discussing a big question together. No academic background is required — curiosity and openness are enough. Disagreement is welcome; respect is essential.

This is not a lecture, a self-help group, or a networking event.
This is a thoughtful, lively conversation with a small group.

First question:
Is loneliness a personal failure, or a social condition?

A short reading (10–20 pages) will be shared two weeks before the event.

You don’t need to finish everything to participate.

Group size is intentionally limited to keep the discussion meaningful.
