Science and Philosophy Discussion Table
This is a group for meeting new people, eating brunch, and having discussions about science, life, philosophy, politics, and people.
Anybody is free to join, and we charge no fees.
This discussion group aims to have the absolute minimal level of structure necessary to ensure the conversation remains engaging to the majority of people present. In particular, we \*don't\* have fixed order of speaking or timed statements.
So far, the balance we've struck is enforcing hand raising when conversation gets intense in order to minimize interruption, and to give the chair (me!) the power to occasionally call a snap election on the conversation topic.
🌲Spring Hike from Vienna (with Uschi 🐼)
Spring is back! You are invited to hike with us on **Sunday, April 12**, in the quiet hills around Vienna, starting together at 13:00 from Hütteldorf U4 U-Bahn/S-Bahn station and reaching the Jubiläumswarte on foot at around 450 mt altitude.
The exact **meeting point** is just outside the station door facing the bus stops (you'll have the Anker bakery on your left when you exit through that door). A funny pug named Uschi will probably join us.
We'll reach the Stadtwanderweg number 4 together and then we'll follow that hiking path entirely. We'll do a 30-minute stop near the observation tower on the top of the hill, where you can eat your fruits and snacks, and we plan to be back at the Hütteldorf station at 17:00.
Please bring 1 liter of water and wear sturdy shoes and comfortable clothes. The hike is not long, but it is moderately difficult. We might sit in the meadow for a while if the weather allows it, so bringing a blanket could also be useful.
IMPORTANT: This is not a guided hike, but simply a chance to experience nature around Vienna together, so everyone is responsible for their own health and safety.
If you need more information, please ask in the comments below.
Meaningful Connections
*A gentle gathering for friendship, love, and real human depth*
**Genuine connection can sometimes feel rare.**
We meet many people.
We exchange words.
We scroll, we swipe.
And still, something deeper remains untouched.
**This is not a dating event**.
Not networking.
Not therapy.
It is a gently guided evening for thoughtful adults who value depth over small talk and who long for meaningful connection — whether friendship, love, or simply resonance.
Through guided conversations and reflective moments, we create a relaxed and respectful space to meet beyond roles and expectations.
You may leave with a new acquaintance, a spark, or simply the quiet reassurance that depth still exists.
For women and men 40+.
Limited group size to maintain quality and balance.
I look forward to welcoming you.
Warmly,
Dieter
PS: A contribution of €25 will be collected to cover the costs, like sandwiches, drinks, cookies, coffee, tea, and room . Additional donations are most welcome.
PPS: 1st door (if closed) use code 2008 + push the button with the bell symbol; at the 2nd door ring at Int'l. Management Institute/ System. Institute. Then take the elevator to the 3rd floor, apartment #49. Message us at 0681 1069 1321 for any issue

Queer Book Club Vienna – Who’s Afraid of Gender? by Judith Butler
## **A Queer Book Club Exploring Gender, Politics, and Power**
Join us this April for our Queer Book Club at Villa Vida Café as we dive into *Who’s Afraid of Gender?* by Judith Butler — one of the most influential thinkers in contemporary gender theory.
In this session, we’ll unpack Butler’s latest work, which examines how “gender” has become a political flashpoint across the world. The book explores how anti-gender movements operate, what’s at stake, and how language, fear, and power shape public discourse.
This is a space for collective reading, critical thinking, and community exchange. No academic background needed—just curiosity and openness.
***
## **About the Book**
*Who’s Afraid of Gender?* looks at the global backlash against gender theory and LGBTQIA+ rights. Butler analyzes how gender has been framed as a threat in political rhetoric, and what this reveals about broader struggles over democracy, freedom, and identity.
Expect themes like:
* Anti-gender movements and moral panic
* The politics of language and framing
* Queer and trans resistance
* Power, fear, and ideology
***
## **Event Details**
* **Date:** Sunday, April 12, 2026
* **Time:** 14:00
* **Location:** Villa Vida Café
* **Room:** Main Café Space
* **Language:** English (German possible if needed)
***
## **What to Expect**
* Guided but open discussion
* Space to share reflections or just listen
* Community-focused and low-pressure atmosphere
* Mixed group: regulars + new faces always welcome
You don’t have to finish the book to join—but it helps.
***
## **Accessibility & Community Care**
* Step-free access available
* Accessible toilet
* This is a queer-centered, respectful space
* No tolerance for discriminatory behavior
***
## **Collaboration**
**The Queer Book Club is hosted In collaboration with** [o*books](http://o-book.at/) & [hint.wien](http://hint.wien/). Once you’ve joined, you can order the books to read at a discounted rate at o\*books.

Westlicht - Under Water
Let's meet again in Westlicht (this group's favorite gallery so far😉), but for a brand new experience! It's underwater photography with both historical and contemporary lenses.
"Photography, with its drive to make the invisible visible, has sought to reveal what lies hidden beneath the sea’s reflective surface. Scientific and aesthetic interests often overlap in this endeavor: the ocean is both an object of research and a place of longing"
Details in [this page](https://www.westlicht.com/westlicht/en/program/exhibitions/unterwasser).
Tickets can be purchas[ed h](https://www.westlicht.com/westlicht/de/besuch)ere or at the entrance.
