Hi and welcome to our next Socrates Café philosophy meetup! Do you have a hunger for deeper understanding of yourself and the world? Do you value deep, honest and respectful dialogue? If yes, then this meetup will be very interesting for you. • WHAT IS A MEETUP ABOUT? At every meetup we have a discussion using Socratic method: [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socratic_method](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socratic_method) We ask, answer and discuss questions and ideas to stimulate critical thinking and to widen our perspectives with new concepts and thoughts. The main purpose of these meetups is to enrich ourselves with the perspectives of others, not to convince others about our own perspectives. Our meetups are about our own philosophies of life and not necessarily what the great philosophers and academics have said or written. It is not a debating club or a platform for proselytizing. Instead, we place the emphasis on questioning, open mindedness and challenging our own assumptions while listening to and respecting the views shared by others. A Socrates Café meetup is considered a success when participants leave a discussion with many more questions than they had at the beginning. • WHAT TOPIC IS DISCUSSED AT THE MEETUP? Participants suggest topics at the beginning of each meeting. We then vote and choose that event's most popular topic for discussion. No academic training in philosophy necessary; just enthusiasm for exchanging ideas and points of view. Some examples of subjects chosen on previous meetups: * What ideals are worth dying for? * Why are we never satisfied? * Why is it that human beings know that the society is going wrong, leaders are well informed about it and things continue as is? * Is identity necessary? * How can it be that people in democratic societies are so obsessed with power? (Desire to be different, better, stronger than others) * What is friendship? • WHO PARTICIPATES AT THIS MEETUP? Anybody is more than welcome to join our meetups. Our events gather people from different backgrounds, different cultures, while no philosophical background is mandatory. Our usual participants are people that have a hunger for deeper understanding of themselves and the world. People that value deep, honest and respectful dialogue. The inspiration for Socrates Cafe originates with the book of the same name, written by the philosopher Christopher Phillips. (Socrates Cafe: A Fresh Taste of Philosophy, 2002). Phillips felt that the Socratic method of dialogue and discussion should be practiced not just in academic settings, but among everyday people interested in examining deep questions together. Hundreds of Socrates Cafe groups now exist around the world.

Una tarda pensada per desconnectar, riure i gaudir sense presses. A ***Tarda de Jocs i Bon Ambient*** podràs venir sol o acompanyat i unir-te a jugar partides de **billar, futbolí o dards**, o simplement seure, xerrar i conèixer gent mentre prens alguna cosa. La idea és senzilla: moure’t lliurement entre jocs, sense pressió, però sense deixar de gaudir de cada moment. Primer jugues una partida, després et ve de gust conversar, tot seguit tornes a provar sort en un altre joc… tot flueix de manera natural. No importa si ets expert o si fa anys que no jugues. Aquí l’important és participar, riure i compartir. Perquè, al final, tots portem un nen dins esperant sortir. Regala’t una tarda diferent, on recuperar aquesta espurna, aquest riure espontani i aquest esperit de joc que mai no s’hauria de perdre. Vine quan vulguis, sense horaris estrictes, i deixa’t portar per l’ambient. **👉 Consumició mínima obligatòria al local.** Aquest esdeveniment s'anuncia també a: **[https://www.meetup.com/club-mentes-brillantes/events/313980636/](https://www.meetup.com/club-mentes-brillantes/events/313980636/)** *** An afternoon designed to disconnect, laugh, and enjoy without rushing. At ***Afternoon of Games and Good Vibes*,** you can come alone or with others and join in **playing billiards, table football, or darts**, or simply sit down, chat, and meet new people while having a drink. The idea is simple: move freely between games, without pressure, while enjoying every moment. First you play a round, then you feel like chatting, then you try your luck at another game… everything flows naturally. It doesn’t matter if you’re an expert or if you haven’t played in years. What matters here is taking part, laughing, and sharing. Because, in the end, we all have a child inside waiting to come out. Treat yourself to a different kind of afternoon, where you can rediscover that spark, that spontaneous laughter, and that playful spirit that should never be lost. Come whenever you like, with no strict schedule, and let yourself be carried by the atmosphere. **👉 Minimum consumption required at the venue.** There are more people joining. This event is also announced to: **[https://www.meetup.com/club-mentes-brillantes/events/313980636/](https://www.meetup.com/club-mentes-brillantes/events/313980636/)**

This book club approaches foundational texts that have shaped the past three centuries through a cross-disciplinary reading series that invites us to engage with the questions of our present. Each session pairs one of these works with a strictly contemporary text (as an optional reading), creating a dialogue in which the past becomes a lens for thinking the present, and vice versa. **No academic background is required; curiosity and openness are all you need.** *BUY THE BOOKS HERE:* **This month we will be reading [Against Interpretation and Other Essays by Susan Sontag.](https://backstorybookshop.shop/product/against-interpretation/) Paired with [Ways of Seeing by John Berger](https://backstorybookshop.shop/product/ways-of-seeing/).** Hosted by Josefina Alippi

¡Volvemos con nueva lectura! En esta ocasión comenzamos el libro ***Neurocienca del cuerpo***, de **Nazareth Castellanos**, una obra fascinante que nos invita a entender cómo nuestro cerebro y nuestro cuerpo se influyen mutuamente y cómo podemos aplicar estos conocimientos en nuestra vida diaria. Aunque el grupo ya lleva tiempo funcionando, esta es la primera sesión que anunciamos en Meetup de este nuevo libro, por lo que es un excelente momento para incorporarse si te interesa el tema. La sesión estará dedicada a compartir reflexiones, dudas, descubrimientos y resonancias personales tras la lectura del primer capítulo. Buscaremos profundizar juntos en las ideas del libro a través de un diálogo abierto y enriquecedor. ### 📖 Cómo trabajaremos este libro "Neurociencia del cuerpo" lo leeremos con calma y profundidad.

Es **imprescindible** reservar tu plaza en: [Club de lectura y debate feminista - Abril](https://entradium.com/events/club-de-lectura-y-debate-feminista-abril-barcelona-amora-libros) Día: **Viernes 10 de abril** Hora: **de 19.30 a 21.00** Libro: ***Frankenstein*, de Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley** Entrada: **4 euros** (+ gastos de gestión de la plataforma) Sede: **[Amora Libros](https://www.instagram.com/amoralibros_bcn/)** (C/ de Ramón y Cajal, 142, Joanic, Gracia, 08024 Barcelona) Cualquier duda, escríbenos a [info@ciempies.es](info@ciempies.es) En Instagram [ciempies.talleres](https://www.instagram.com/ciempies.talleres/) **Sobre el libro** ¿Qué decir sobre *Frankenstein* si todo el mundo sabe de qué va? Infinidad de películas, series de tevé, adaptaciones, parodias, homenajes, reinterpretaciones, estudios académicos… Pero ¡levante la mano quien leyó el libro! Así, surgió la propuesta de traer a nuestro club esta obra que se considera la primera de ciencia ficción moderna. Escrita por una jovencísima Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley, por entonces, Mary Godwin, *Frankenstein* o *El moderno Prometeo* nació a partir de un juego literato en una aburrida jornada de lluvia de 1815. Se publicó en 1818 y aún hoy alimenta nuestra imaginación. **Sobre la autora** La escritora británica Mary Wollstonecraft Godwin, más conocida como Mary Shelley, es una figura fundamental, mítica, de la literatura universal. Pionera del gótico y de la ciencia ficción, fue hija del filósofo radical William Godwin y de la pensadora Mary Wollstonecraft, autora de *Vindicación de los Derechos de la Mujer*. Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley, además de *Frankenstein* o *El moderno Prometeo* (1818), escribió entre otras novelas *El último hombre* (1826), *Lodore* (1835), *Falkner* (1837) y *Mathilda* (escrita entre 1819 y 1820 y publicada póstumamente en 1959). También fue autora de cuentos y relatos de viaje.

What does freedom really mean — and how do we live it every day? Together, we’ll explore what freedom looks like in practice and how Timothy Snyder challenges us to rethink responsibility and courage. *Even if you haven’t finished the book — or didn’t even get started — you’re welcome to join the discussion and share your thoughts.* * **17:30–18:00** — Mingling and browsing at Backstory Bookshop * **18:00 sharp** — Book club begins. *Please arrive on time so we can start promptly and minimize interruptions. Thank you!* ***Discussion questions will be sent at least 24 hours before the event to everyone who RSVPs.*** Let us know if you’re interested in helping moderate the discussion. **\*\*\*To Attend, RSVP [HERE](https://www.democratsabroad.org/181073/_book_club_april_11_on_freedom_by_timothy_snyder)\*\*\*** **THE BOOK:** In *On Freedom*, Timothy Snyder offers a philosophical and historical reflection on what freedom truly means. Moving beyond slogans, he explores how freedom depends on truth, solidarity, responsibility, and meaningful connection with others. Thought-provoking and deeply relevant, this book invites us to rethink liberty not just as independence — but as something we build together. Last year we read Snyder’s *On Tyranny*, which inspired millions to fight for freedom. In *On Freedom*, the acclaimed Yale historian takes us on a philosophical and historical journey to understand exactly what freedom is, why it matters, and how we can protect it. Thought-provoking and urgent, this book invites us to rethink liberty not just as independence, but as a value we build and defend together. "**On Freedom**" is available from **Backstory Bookshop** in paperback or as an audiobook. **Paperback:** Stop by the shop, give them a call, or order online by [clicking here](https://backstorybookshop.shop/product/on-freedom-2/). directly through Backstory. **Audiobook:** The audio version is approximately **8–9 hours** — a helpful guide to plan your reading time. ***🍝 Join us for Dinner with DA immediately following the book club.

**Our April novel is: *The Hong Kong Widow* by Kristen Loesch** **This month’s novel blends gothic atmosphere with historical fiction and chilling horror, set against the haunting backdrop of China. The book is 368 pages in print and 10 hours and 42 minutes on audiobook.** In 1950s Hong Kong, Mei is a young refugee of the Chinese Communist revolution struggling to put her past in Shanghai behind her. When she receives a shocking invitation—to take part in a competition in one of the city's most notorious haunted houses, pitting six spirit mediums against one another in a series of six séances over six nights, until a single winner emerges—she has every reason to refuse. Except that the hostess, a former Shanghainese silent film star, is none other than the wife of the man who once destroyed Mei’s entire life. It is promised the winner will receive a fortune, but there is only one prize Mei wants: revenge. Decades later, the final night of that competition has become an infamous urban legend: The police were called to the scene of a brutal massacre but found no evidence, dismissing it as a collective hallucination. Mei knows what she saw, but now someone else is convinced they know what she did. She must uncover the truth about the last night she ever spent in that house—even if the ghosts of her past are waiting for her there. . . .

Welcome, readers! Our April read is **_Martyr!_ by Kaveh Akbar.** The story follows a young Iranian American poet grappling with grief, addiction, and the aching question of what makes a life meaningful. Drawn into an unexpected friendship with a terminally ill artist, he begins to confront faith, love, and the seduction of self-destruction. Lyrical, darkly funny, and emotionally piercing, the novel wrestles with beauty and despair in equal measure. It’s a story about longing—to be seen, to be forgiven, and to matter. Looking forward to discussing with everyone! We will meet at Zaftig Brewing Co in their event room in the back. We are welcome to bring in our own food, but **drinks must be purchased at the bar.** Happy reading! 📖
