Practical Philosophy Meetup - Paris đŸ‡«đŸ‡·
Practical Philosophy Meetup - Paris đŸ‡«đŸ‡·
Bonjour Ă  tous.tes ! Je m'appelle Emma, je suis l'organisatrice Practical Philosophy Paris :) Practical Philosophy est un mouvement nĂ© au Mexique et qui est prĂ©sent partout dans le monde aujourd'hui. J'ai dĂ©couvert Practical Philosophy au Canada et j'ai tellement aimĂ© que j'ai dĂ©cidĂ© de l'importer Ă  Paris (il y a aussi une branche Ă  Lyon si vous n'ĂȘtes pas de la rĂ©gion). **đŸ›ïž C’EST QUOI, LA PRACTICAL PHILOSOPHY ?** Practical philosophy, c’est un rendez-vous hebdomadaire oĂč des esprits curieux se retrouvent pour creuser un sujet, affĂ»ter leur façon de s’exprimer et tisser des liens. Pas besoin d’ĂȘtre un pro de la philo pour participer, tout le monde est le bienvenu ! 😎 L’idĂ©e, c’est que la philosophie, ce n’est pas juste pour les profs d’universitĂ©. Chaque semaine, on choisit un thĂšme et on en discute pour aiguiser notre esprit critique et nos talents de communicants. C'est aussi une maniĂšre d'apprendre Ă  mieux se connaĂźtre soi-mĂȘme, en affirmant et argmumentant ce qu'on pense rĂ©ellement. Bref, on bosse sur trois piliers : **PensĂ©e Critique**, **Communication** et **CommunautĂ©** 🙌. **📓 COMMENT ÇA MARCHE ?** Chaque semaine, on se focalise sur un sujet qu’on dĂ©cortique ensemble. Le thĂšme est annoncĂ©, souvent via le [groupe Whatsapp](https://chat.whatsapp.com/KkFwIL85vly3UefjyheHXh), avec quelques pistes pour lancer les Ă©changes. Les thĂšmes sont trĂšs variĂ©s et toutes les suggestions sont prises en compte (la beautĂ©, la richesse, la loyautĂ©...) Quand on est plus de 7 ou 8, on se divise en petits groupes pour garder une ambiance fluide et Ă©viter que ça ressemble Ă  une confĂ©rence. **DĂ©roulĂ© type d’une soirĂ©e** Voici comment se passe une rencontre : * **19h00-19h15** : On arrive, on papote, on fait connaissance dans une ambiance dĂ©tendue. * **19h15-19h25** : Petit topo pour prĂ©senter Practical philosophie le sujet du jour, les rĂšgles et le timing. * **19h25-20h45** : On se rĂ©partit en petits groupes, on se prĂ©sente, on partage nos premiĂšres idĂ©es sur le sujet, puis on passe Ă  une discussion libre. Des questions “d’amorce” sont lĂ  pour guider si besoin, mais rien d’obligatoire. * **20h45-21h00** : Tout le monde se regroupe pour faire le point. Chaque groupe partage un rĂ©sumĂ© rapide (1 minute) de ses conclusions. On termine par un mot de l’organisateur et une photo de groupe. * **AprĂšs 21h00** : La partie officielle est finie, mais c’est le moment parfait pour prolonger les discussions autour d’un verre ou d’un cafĂ©, histoire de renforcer les liens. **🧧 COMBIEN ÇA COÛTE ?** C’est **GRATUIT** ! Si on se retrouve dans un cafĂ©, on vous demande juste de prendre une conso. **💛 CE QUE LES GENS EN PENSENT** 🗣 *“Le Club de Philosophie, c’est un endroit oĂč on construit ses propres idĂ©es Ă  travers diffĂ©rents points de vue, sans qu’on nous dise ce qui est bien ou mal.”* – Ekam 🗣 *“J’ai accrochĂ© dĂšs le premier jour (le sujet Ă©tait l’autoritĂ©) et j’ai tout de suite senti que c’était ma place. C’est un espace oĂč on apprend, on dĂ©couvre de nouvelles perspectives, on booste sa pensĂ©e critique et on crĂ©e du lien avec des gens qui challengent nos idĂ©es tout en encourageant l’ouverture d’esprit.”* – Daniel **đŸ€“ FAQ** * **Faut-il prĂ©parer ou lire quelque chose avant ?** Aucune prĂ©paration nĂ©cessaire ! On ne rĂ©vise pas les grands philosophes, on veut savoir ce que **vous** pensez. Si vous avez une idĂ©e inspirĂ©e d’une religion ou d’une Ă©cole de pensĂ©e, partagez-la, on en discutera. * **Y a-t-il une philosophie spĂ©cifique au centre des discussions ?** Non, pas de dogme ici ! On veut entendre toutes les idĂ©es, sans se limiter Ă  une Ă©cole particuliĂšre, pour muscler notre pensĂ©e critique. * **C’est surtout des mecs qui viennent ?** Pas du tout ! Contrairement Ă  l’image de la philo dans un salon sombre, nos rencontres sont Ă©quilibrĂ©es et sans ambiance lugubre ! * **Je peux venir seul(e) ?** Oui, on encourage mĂȘme ça ! :) * **Et si je suis en retard ?** On prĂ©fĂ©rerait que vous soyez Ă  l’heure ! On a 15 minutes de battement au dĂ©but si besoin. * **OĂč se passent les rencontres ?** Le lieu est annoncĂ© sur Meetup et dans notre [groupe Whatsapp](https://chat.whatsapp.com/KkFwIL85vly3UefjyheHXh). On vous conseille de rejoindre le groupe ! Pour dĂ©couvrir les autres villes oĂč le Club existe, checkez notre [site web](https://www.practicalphilosophy.club/). **LE CLUB DE PHILOSOPHIE PRATIQUE – LA PHILO POUR TOUS ! ✹** On organise des rencontres hebdomadaires en prĂ©sentiel dans plus de 25 pays, comme le Canada, l’Espagne, le Japon, le Mexique et bien d’autres ! đŸ—ș **\*\*\*** **Rejoignez notre [groupe Whatsapp Paris](https://chat.whatsapp.com/KkFwIL85vly3UefjyheHXh) 👈** **Suivez-nous sur [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/practicalphilosophyclub/) 👈** **Visitez notre [site web](https://www.practicalphilosophy.club/) 👈** **✹ IF YOU ARE AN ENGLISH SPEAKER YOU ARE VERY WELCOME.

Cosy Cave Conversations // 10Úme // Café philo in English
Cosy Cave Conversations // 10Úme // Café philo in English
**Step into the laid-back charm of Cosy Cave Conversations**, a Parisian philosophy chat that's more relaxed than a cat in a sunbeam 🐈 🌞 Gather with a bunch of easygoing souls, share thoughts on the good life and its mysteries, enjoy a beverage, and have a good laugh. A few things to be aware of: * **Please** **don't show up without a spot** (we aim to keep it cosy and we always have a waiting list these days — check if you’re on the list or the waiting list) * If it's your first event, it's essential you **turn up early, or at the latest on time (<7pm)** so you understand how it works, what the topic is and don't interrupt the session * The **session runs from 7pm to 8:30pm** where we focus on the discussion, but don't worry, you'll have a chance to socialise, introduce yourselves and continue the chat after the session. **If you’re running late** (the curtains are closed), that’s okay, but please wait to join us in the break rather than interrupting the session. * Please read the **tips below** for a good session before coming along **How does it work?** We embrace the cafĂ©-philo method — proposing intriguing topics on the night (up to 3), choosing one together, and diving into everything from consciousness, community, death and god, while managing to keep it light and easy 🩩 **Forget the stiff atmosphere**, we're all about small groups (\~10 people) and unpretentious chats with no homework required. No need for a philosophy degree, just bring your open mind and a dash of curiosity. **Join us every Wednesday 19h-20h30 at Les Acolytes** — because pondering the profound is better with good company (and a pint). See you there! 🎉 A few tips for a great session: * come with an **open and curious mind** 🧠 * **prioritise listening to others and asking questions** without interrupting or long monologues 👂 * we put a strong **emphasise on giving everyone a chance to contribute to the discussion**, so try and be aware of how much space and time you take up when speaking đŸ»â€â„ïž * we prioritise **intellectual accessibility**: this is not an academic group therefore we ask to keep any philosophy jargon to a minimum and instead explain any concepts in plain english đŸ€  * we are an **apolitical group** that focuses on discussing and exploring philosophical ideas without endorsing or aligning with any specific political or religous ideologies. Our aim is to encourage open, unbiased dialogue centered on philosophical inquiry within a safe and respectful environment đŸ„

Women’s Circle: Breathwork Journey 29.04
Women’s Circle: Breathwork Journey 29.04
✹🌙 Women’s Circle — Awakening Feminine Power 🌙✹ Join us for an intimate and immersive evening hosted by @thedani designed to reconnect you to your inner world, your intuition, and the power of your feminine energy. In this sacred circle, we gather to slow down, soften, and return to ourselves ; Dani creates the space to release what feels heavy, reconnect to our truth, and awaken the quiet strength that lives within. We’ll begin with a guided meditation and visualization to gently regulate the nervous system and set a clear, heart-led intention. From there, you’ll be guided through a transformative breathwork journey, allowing emotions to move, energy to shift, and deeper layers to unfold. Throughout the experience, Reiki energy will be offered to support your process, helping you feel held, grounded, and open. Following the journey, we’ll move into a sharing circle - this is a special a moment to be seen, heard, and connected in a safe and supportive space. The evening will close with a gentle integration, allowing you to anchor into your body, your truth, and your feminine essence. A space to feel, release, soften, and rise...together. Come as you are. Leave feeling more connected, aligned, and deeply nourished. ✹ **Les Amis** is a women-only community of friendly souls. We provide access to hundreds of experiences that explore your passions and connect you with other event participants. **Check our website to learn more, and apply to join our community and events**: [lesamis.cc/apply](https://www.lesamis.cc/apply)

Duty vs. Results: What Makes an Action Moral?
Duty vs. Results: What Makes an Action Moral?
When judging morality, should we prioritize **intentions/duty** or **outcomes/results**? It introduces two influential philosophers as representatives of these approaches. * **Immanuel Kant (deontology):** An action is moral when it is done from **duty** and follows rational, universal principles (the **categorical imperative**). Certain acts—like lying—are wrong regardless of the consequences; you can’t do a wrong thing for a right reason. * **John Stuart Mill (utilitarian consequentialism):** The morality of an action is determined by its **effects**, specifically how much **happiness/well-being** it produces. Mill argues that some pleasures are “higher” than others, and that good intentions don’t redeem harmful outcomes. ## Discussion Questions 1. **The lying dilemma:** A murderer comes to your door and asks if your friend is hiding inside. Kant would say you must not lie. 2. **Can good intentions rescue a bad outcome?** 3. **The organ harvest problem:** A surgeon has five patients dying of organ failure and one healthy patient in for a checkup. Killing the one to harvest organs would save five lives, and the math works out for the utilitarian. Why does this feel so deeply wrong? Is that feeling a point in Kant's favor, or just a bias we should overcome? 4. **Do rules need exceptions?** Kant insists moral rules must be universal, with no exceptions. But most of us can imagine extreme scenarios where any rule seems like it should bend. Does the need for exceptions fatally undermine deontology, or is the strength of the system precisely that it refuses to bend? 5. **Who gets to calculate the consequences?** Utilitarianism asks us to maximize good outcomes, but we're notoriously bad at predicting consequences. If we can't reliably know the results of our actions, is it practical to base our entire moral system on outcomes? Does this uncertainty push us back toward rules and principles? 6. **Everyday morality:** Think about a real moral decision you've made recently, even a small one. Did you reason more like a Kantian (what's the right thing to do in principle?) or more like a utilitarian (what will produce the best result?)? Do most people naturally lean one way? 7. **Justice vs. the greater good:** A town can prevent a deadly plague by sacrificing one innocent person. The greater good is clearly served. But is it just? Can an action be morally right and deeply unjust at the same time? 8. **The big synthesis question:** Are these two systems actually opposed, or do they often arrive at the same answers by different paths? Is it possible that we need both: rules to guide us in the moment and consequences to evaluate systems and policies over time?

Slate Run Metro Park and Living Historical Farm
Slate Run Metro Park and Living Historical Farm
**Hike Slate Run Metro Park and visit the Living Historical Farm. We will aim for 3.5 to 4 miles of hiking and then do a quick pass through the Living Historical Farm. From there those who are interested can join for lunch at Brewdog, 96 Gender Way, Canal Winchester, just 11 minutes away.** **If you’d like to spend more time at the Farm plan on arriving early (they open at 9).** **Living Historical Farm: Time has been turned back to the 1880s at Slate Run Living Historical Farm. Experience first-hand what life was like on a 19th-century Ohio farm. As you stroll through the gardens, barns and farmhouse, you will see the farm’s costumed staff and volunteers going about their daily chores. Pigs, geese, turkeys, Percheron horses and other heirloom animals can be seen.** **The gothic revival farmhouse was built in 1856 and restored by Metro Parks for authenticity. Visitors can tour the living room, parlor and kitchen and watch the farm ladies prepare meals on a woodburning stove and tend the house. The multi-bay barn was built by Samuel Oman, the fourth owner of Slate Run Farm, and restored by Amish carpenters.** **Allow at least three hours and maybe more if you're joining for lunch.** **Pace is 17-18 minute miles with no one left behind. Faster walkers are free to lead - I'll have the route well defined - and we can meet up at the farm.** **This is the fourth of the metro parks.**
Free In-person Meeting: Unwanted Emotions & Loneliness, How to Get Over Them
Free In-person Meeting: Unwanted Emotions & Loneliness, How to Get Over Them
This is an in-person meeting. Did you know that unwanted emotions like loneliness, sadness, hopelessness, anger, fear, anxiety, or feelings of irritation don’t just fall on you for no reason. They are not random occurrences that simply happen to people's minds. They are definitely not chemical imbalance in your brain due to some nebulous chemical reactions by chance. Your negative emotions are the symptoms of the painful experiences that you have which are not healed, and which are still affecting you. The effects of these painful experiences are exacerbated by the pressures or difficulties of the other problems in your life. For instance, let's say you are already carrying a huge load on your back, then you cannot take on much more, but, let's say something else happens to you, such as the difficulties from the Pandemic, then the resultant combined weight on you can take you over the edge, kind of like the straw that break the camel's back. When this happens, people's attention usually goes to the straw that was added, but actually the majority of the weight had come from the huge load that were already there, holding a person down and causing a person issues. So how do you remove the huge load that was already there? How do you lighten them up? Is it possible to get rid of them? That is what this meeting will be all about. Come to our Meetup, where we can introduce you to some of the knowledge, tools and techniques of the breakthroughs in the field of the mind that we can apply to this ever important area of life. Be sure to click on the red "Attend" button below to come to this local event. We look forward to seeing you there. This group is created by the Dianetics and Scientology Life Improvement Center of Central Ohio.
