Erasmus

The first *Philosophy Movie Night* was just as advertised! Relaxed, cozi, with tasty mexican totopos to munch and a fine wine to sip, in company of thoughtful and nice people. This is a session to watch one of those older movies we never got the chance to watch in thoughtful company. The format is simple: we select a film in our community under 2 hours (link to the poll below), then optionally discuss it together at the end. **How it works** * Choose or suggest a film in the facebook group. * The winning movie gets screened next Wednesday. * English or Hungarian subtitles are available upon request. **What to expect** * A curated film with philosophical depth * A projector and casual atmosphere. The first to arrive gets the sofa. * An optional discussion after the screening for those who fancy talking about it. **Practical details** Location: Kisvilág Kulturális és Társadalmi Alapítvány Please, put 18:00 in your calendar, get your seat, order some snack, meet some friends and have an introduction of the movie. Movie starts: 18:30 Ticket: Free **Note: the space is limited**, only sign if you are actually going! We will message to confirm, if you dont answer we might give your seat to someone else! Donations to support the association are welcome Snacks and beverages available for purchase. **Want to vote for the movie?** We made a poll in our Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/budapestphilosophy/permalink/969860102200121/

Sziasztok! **English below** Szeretnél egy kis szünetet tartani a rohanó városi életben? Vagy csak kipróbálnál valami újat egy jó társaságban? Nálunk egyszerű és nagyszerű a koncepció: mindenki hozza a saját könyvét, amiben egy órán át, teljes csendben haladhat. Az olvasás után pedig jöhet a legjobb rész, a kötetlen beszélgetés, ahol megosztjuk egymással, ki mit olvasott. Hogy miről szoktunk beszélgetni? Bármiről! A témáink a madarak evolúciójától kezdve, az Ubuntu (a boldogság afrikai filozófiája) szemléletén át egészen addig terjedhetnek, hogy milyen hatással van a Hold a szervezetre. **Fontos:** Ez egy teljesen magyar nyelvű esemény. A bemutatkozó kör az elején és a kötetlen beszélgetés a végén is magyarul zajlik. Az olvasás csendje persze mindenkié, így nyugodtan hozhatsz bármilyen nyelvű könyvet. 📍 **Helyszín és Találkozó:** Irány a Margit-sziget! A közös találkozási pontunk a **Zenélő szökőkútnál** lesz. Onnan együtt keresünk egy kényelmes, árnyas-füves helyet a sziget közepén. Keressetek egy könyvekkel felszerelt csapatot, mi leszünk azok! ⏰ **Késel egy picit?** Semmi gond! Ha már nem találsz minket a találkozási ponton, nézd meg az esemény kommentjeit – oda fogjuk kiposztolni a pontos koordinátákat, hogy hol telepedtünk le. **MIt hozz magaddal?** * Az aktuális könyvedet. * Egy plédet vagy pokrócot, amin kényelmesen elhelyezkedsz. * Inni- és rágcsálnivalót ízlés szerint. **A Menetrend:** * **14:30–15:00** – Találkozó és helykeresés. 14:40-ig várunk a megbeszélt ponton, majd együtt keresünk egy zöld területet, ahol megtartjuk a bemutatkozó kört. * **15:00–16:00** – A csendes olvasás órája. * **16:00–17:00** – Választható beszélgetés a könyvekről (magyarul). * **17:00- –** Kötetlen beszélgetés A részvétel ingyenes, de a helyek korlátozottak. Kérlek, mindenképpen jelentkezz az eseményre, ha jönnél! Várunk szeretettel! 📌 [Goodreads](https://www.goodreads.com/group/show/1271292-budapest-silent-book-club) 📌 [Facebook Page](https://www.facebook.com/people/Budapest-Silent-Book-Club/61567388151835) \*\*\* **✨** **Önkéntes hozzájárulás** A meetup regisztráció költségeire gyűjtünk adományokat, hogy eseményeket az eddig megszokott színvonalon és nyitott emberek között tarthassuk.

**Something exciting for this weekend’s guitar lesson!** The class will start at 18:00 as usual and right after we will have snacks and tea and watch a short film made by BBC called "**The Joy of the Guitar Riff"** (1 hr) showcasing the best guitar and rock riffs ever made and the story behind them. It is a great way to look at the history of rock music and different styles of guitar playing in general. **General description of the class:** Our class is all about beginning stages: playing chords, tabs, holding guitar properly and getting the fingers ready to play. We will have enough time to cover the basics, discuss what we would like to improve and get playing at least one simple song! I also speak Hungarian, so if there is anyone who doesn’t understand English, I will translate on the go. Any newcomers are welcome and I will help you to get started and develop together with others. **What to bring:** * A pen and notebook, so you can take notes as needed. * Guitar (if you don't have one, you can use mine during the class, but definitely you should get a guitar later if you want to learn guitar properly). This event is totally **free of charge**, **but I appreciate donations, which helps me, the organizer, to cover the bills. Recommended donation: 2,500 HUF.** Feel free to **bring your friends**. We have enough space! **I recommend joining our Telegram channel** to get notified about announcements or any cancellations: https://t.me/budapestGuitarClub

Lets Watch the F1 Miami GP this Sunday at Stifler Bar

Main Library, Meeting Room 2B Join us for a welcoming evening of reflection, gentle music, and meaningful conversation. We’ll begin with a short grounding moment, followed by a brief reading from spiritual or philosophical traditions, and an open reflection circle where participants can share (or simply listen). Libera Animae is an interfaith community focused on inner growth, creativity, and authentic connection. All backgrounds are welcome.

Bring your Raspberry Pi, Arduino, microcontroller, or any other electronic project and join fellow electronics makers for a night of creativity and collaboration! This session is open forum to share your current projects—whether complete or in progress, it’s all interesting! Whether you’re deep into embedded systems, exploring new ideas, or just getting started, you’ll find a welcoming space to collaborate, share, and get inspired. **New to electronics or curious about tinkering?** You’re absolutely welcome. If you’re a beginner and want to experiment, I’ll have a couple of starter kits available so you can try things out—whether that’s blinking your first LED, putting something on a display, or experimenting with simple sensors. No pressure and no experience required—just an interest in learning and building. While we continue to pursue a more permanent venue for this Meetup, we’ll be using public library facilities based on availability. This session will be at the Worthington Park Library in the Olentangy Meeting Room.

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?
