Rationalism

Hola y bienvenidos a nuestro próximo meetup de filosofía de Sócrates Café! ¿Deseas una comprensión más profunda de ti mismo y del mundo? ¿Valoras el diálogo profundo, honesto y respetuoso? Si es así, entonces este encuentro será muy interesante para ti. 1. ¿DONDE NOS ENCONTRAMOS? Charcha Café [Carrer d'Avinyó, 24, Ciutat Vella, 08002 Barcelona](https://www.google.com/maps/place//data=!4m2!3m1!1s0x12a4a3004ce10d7d:0xbc126fd29e6e5d2d?sa=X&ved=1t:8290&ictx=111) https://www.google.com/maps/place//data=!4m2!3m1!1s0x12a4a3004ce10d7d:0xbc126fd29e6e5d2d?sa=X&ved=1t:8290&ictx=111 2. ¿CUANDO NOS ENCONTRAMOS? los martes de 19:30 a 21:00 3. ¿CUÁNTOS NOS REUNIMOS? Hasta 25 personas. Las reuniones comenzarán a las 7.30 pm. Por favor, les pedimos que pidan algo para beber antes de comenzar y que lleguen puntualmente. **Empezaremos puntualmente.** 4. ¿QUE PASA EN LAS REUNIONES? En cada reunión tenemos una discusión usando el método socrático: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socratic_method Hacemos, respondemos y discutimos preguntas e ideas para estimular el pensamiento crítico y ampliar nuestras perspectivas con algunos conceptos y pensamientos en los que nunca hemos pensado. El objetivo principal de estos encuentros es enriquecernos con las perspectivas de los demás, no convencer a los demás sobre nuestras propias perspectivas. Nuestras reuniones son sobre nuestras propias filosofías de la vida y no necesariamente lo que los grandes filósofos y académicos han dicho o escrito. No es un club de debate o una plataforma para hacer proselitismo. En cambio, ponemos énfasis en cuestionar, tener una mentalidad abierta y desafiar nuestras propias suposiciones mientras escuchamos y respetamos las opiniones compartidas por otros. Una reunión de Socrates Café se considera un éxito cuando los participantes dejan una discusión con muchas más preguntas de las que tenían al principio. 5. ¿QUÉ TEMA SE DISCUTE EN EL MEETUP? Los participantes sugieren temas al principio de cada reunión. Luego votamos y elegimos el tema más popular de ese evento para la discusión. No es necesaria la formación académica en filosofía; Solo entusiasmo por intercambiar ideas y puntos de vista. Algunos ejemplos de temas elegidos en reuniones anteriores: * ¿Por qué ideales vale la pena morir? * ¿Por qué nunca estamos satisfechos? * ¿Por qué los seres humanos están informados de que la sociedad está yendo mal y los líderes están bien informados y las cosas continúan? * ¿Es necesaria la identidad? * ¿Qué es el precio ético y la codicia? * ¿Qué es post-verdad? * ¿Cómo puede ser que las personas en las sociedades democráticas estén tan obsesionadas con el poder? (Deseo de ser diferente, mejor, más fuerte que los demás). * ¿Qué es la amistad? 6. ¿QUIÉN PUEDE PARTICIPAR EN ESTE MEETUP? Cualquiera es más que bienvenido a unirse a nuestros encuentros. Nuestros eventos reúnen a personas de diferentes orígenes, diferentes culturas, mientras que no es obligatorio tener antecedentes filosóficos. Nuestros participantes habituales son personas que tienen deseo de una comprensión más profunda de sí mismos y del mundo. Personas que valoran el diálogo profundo, honesto y respetuoso.

Favor confirmar através del WhatsApp +351914149287 Tema: Las Constelaciones Familiares son una técnica de la medicina holística creada por Bert Hellinger y que nos permite mirar desde otra perspectiva nuestra vida presente. En ellas se da un nuevo espacio a acontecimientos pasados, comprendiendo todo lo vivido y de ese modo se ubican las emociones en otro lugar más sano, en el lugar correcto, liberándonos de cualquier lastre del pasado que pudiéramos tener. La terapia con Constelaciones Familiares revela que muchos de nuestros sentimientos, comportamientos y síntomas no están en realidad vinculados a nuestra propia historia personal, sino que tienen su origen en una lealtad familiar inconsciente que pretende que cada generación reanude los conflictos no regulados de las generaciones anteriores. Las Constelaciones Familiares permiten poner luz sobre estos conflictos y repararlos para liberar a los que los llevan y a sus futuras generaciones.

Para celebrar dos años de actividad en Barcelona, la Comunidad "Barcelona Filosófica" organiza una fiesta pública - Pin Nic, ¡con comida, bebidas, música y juegos filosóficos! Una buena ocasión para celebrar con quienes participan, han participado o son curiosos y tal vez en el futuro participarán en una de las muchas maneras de hacer de la filosofía una práctica reflexiva vital y creativa para la vida diaria, para aquellos que están convencidos de que la filosofía es un mundo importante para redescubrir a nivel popular (más allá de la Academia). Una manera de celebrar la filosofía del diálogo como el corazón de este nuevo universo que se debe explorar juntos de muchas maneras diferentes. Pero sobre todo una excusa para celebrar dos años en los que hemos recorrido calles, callejones y plazas, donde hemos ocupado cafés y asociaciones, hemos entrado en casas privadas y hecho reflexiones públicas, siempre siguiendo el camino maestro del descubrimiento de uno mismo y del mundo, con nueva confianza en nuestras capacidades de pensar, de ser y de hablar con los demás (y consigo mismos). Por eso es bueno hacer fiesta! La fiesta es gratuita, pero con dos condiciones centrales: - Cada uno traerá algo de beber y/o comer para todos, en acuerdo con los organizadores de la fiesta. - Será un momento para estar juntos, y luego participar en los juegos y la música del evento. Por lo tanto, se ruega a cualquiera que se registre para el evento que escriba en privado al organizador-coordinador, el filósofo Emanuele Profumi que creó este Meetup, para coordinar qué llevar y cómo participar en los juegos filosófico y a la Jam Musical. Es bienvenido el boca a boca para extender la invitación a otras personas, amigos, conocidos. Lo importante es que cada uno traiga algo para comer y/o beber según las indicaciones que serán dadas por el organizador. Este es el programa general (poco antes de la Fiesta se comunicarà aquì el programa con detalles) - Breves lecturas filosóficas (Micrófono abierto) - Quiz filosófico para nerd y menos nerd - Jam Session Musical con ritmos latinoamericanos y no solo ¿Qué esperas para inscribirte y participar en el evento?! Nos vemos en los hermosos jardines de Montjuic (cerca del estanque central)! To celebrate two years of activity in Barcelona, the Community "Barcelona Filosófica" organizes a public party - Pin Nic, with food, drinks, music and philosophical games! A good occasion to celebrate with those who participate, have participated or are curious and perhaps in the future will participate in one of the many ways to make philosophy a vital and creative reflective practice for daily life, for those who are convinced that philosophy is an important world to rediscover on a popular level (beyond the Academy). A way to celebrate the philosophy of dialogue as the heart of this new universe that must be explored together in many different ways. But above all an excuse to celebrate two years in which we have traveled through streets, alleys and squares, where we have occupied cafes and associations, entered private homes and made public reflections, always following the master path of self-discovery and the world, with renewed confidence in our abilities to think, to be and to speak with others (and with ourselves). That’s why it’s good to party! The party is free, but with two key conditions: - Everyone will bring something to drink and/or eat for everyone, in agreement with the party organizers. - It will be a moment to be together, and then participate in the games and music of the event. Therefore, anyone registering for the event is asked to write privately to the organizer-coordinator, philosopher Emanuele Profumi who created this Meetup, to coordinate what to bring and how to participate in the philosophical games and the Musical Jam. Word of mouth is welcome to extend the invitation to other people, friends, acquaintances. The important thing is that everyone brings something to eat and/or drink according to the instructions given by the organizer. This is the general program (shortly before the party, the program with details will be communicated here) - Brief philosophical readings (Open microphone) - Philosophical quiz for nerds and less nerds - Jam Session Musical with Latin American rhythms and not only What are you waiting for to sign up and participate in the event?! See you in the beautiful gardens of Montjuic (near to the central Little lane)! Per celebrare due anni di attività a Barcellona, la Comunità "Barcelona Filosófica" organizza una festa pubblica - Pin Nic, con cibo, bevande, musica e giochi filosofici! Una buona occasione per celebrare con coloro che partecipano, hanno partecipato o sono curiosi e forse in futuro parteciperanno a uno dei tanti modi di fare della filosofia una pratica riflessiva vitale e creativa per la vita quotidiana, per coloro che sono convinti che la filosofia sia un mondo importante da riscoprire a livello popolare (al di là dell'Accademia). Un modo per celebrare la filosofia del dialogo come il cuore di questo nuovo universo che deve essere esplorato insieme in molti modi diversi. Ma soprattutto un pretesto per celebrare due anni in cui abbiamo percorso strade, vicoli e piazze, dove abbiamo occupato caffè e associazioni, siamo entrati in case private e abbiamo fatto riflessioni pubbliche, sempre seguendo il cammino maestro della scoperta di sé stessi e del mondo, con nuova fiducia nelle nostre capacità di pensare, di essere e di parlare con gli altri (e con se stessi). Ecco perché è bello fare festa! La festa è gratuita, ma con due condizioni fondamentali: - Ognuno porterà qualcosa da bere e/o da mangiare per tutti, in accordo con gli organizzatori della festa. - Sarà un momento per stare insieme, e poi partecipare ai giochi e alla musica dell'evento. Pertanto, si prega a chiunque si iscriva all'evento di scrivere in privato all'organizzatore-coordinatore, il filosofo Emanuele Profumi che ha creato questo Meetup, per coordinare cosa portare e come partecipare ai giochi filosofici e alla Jam Musical. Il passaparola è ben accetto per estendere l'invito ad altre persone, amici, conoscenti. L'importante è che ognuno porti qualcosa da mangiare e/o bere secondo le indicazioni che saranno date dall'organizzatore. Questo è il programma generale (poco prima della festa verrà comunicato qui il programma con i dettagli) - Brevi letture filosofiche (Microfono aperto) - Quiz filosofico per nerd e meno nerd - Jam Session Musical con ritmi latinoamericani e non solo Cosa aspetti per iscriverti e partecipare all'evento?!

Una bona ocasió per celebrar-ho amb els que hi participen, han participat o són curiosos i potser en el futur participaran en una de les moltes maneres de fer de la filosofia una pràctica reflexiva vital i creativa per a la vida quotidiana, per a aquells que estan convençuts que la filosofia és un món important per redescobrir a nivell popular (més enllà de l'Acadèmia). Una manera de celebrar la filosofia del diàleg com a cor d’aquest nou univers que cal explorar junts de moltes maneres diferents. Però sobretot una excusa per celebrar dos anys en què hem recorregut carrers, carrerons i places, on hem ocupat cafès i associacions, hem entrat a cases particulars i hem fet reflexions públiques, sempre seguint el camí mestre de l’autodescobriment i del món, amb una confiança renovada en les nostres capacitats per pensar, ser i parlar amb els altres (i amb nosaltres mateixos).

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 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.

What is it like to be a dog? In this session we'll spend an hour in the world of my dog Monty. We will consider his extraordinary nose, his vision, and the strange new neuroscience of how he perceives. We will use that as a way into one of the deepest questions in philosophy: what consciousness actually is, and why it's so hard to explain through science. This session will be led by James. A relatively recent book on the subject I can recommend is *Being You: A New Science of Consciousness* by Anil Seth. A good overall review of philosophy related to consciousness is *Philosophers on Consciousness: Talking about the Mind (Talking about Philosophy)* by Jack Symes. Bring wine/beer/drinks/food/snacks/whatever if you want to. **Our events fill up very quickly.

**Aquesta activitat té un aforament limitat i les places s'assignen a través del sistema d'inscripció de Meetup. Les places obtingudes es reservaran fins al dia de la trobada al moment en què el grup hagi seleccionat el tema de debat. Si arribeu més tard d'aquell moment, la vostra plaça podrà ser cedida a una altra persona.** Hola i benvinguts al nostre proper Meetup de filosofia de Sòcrates Cafè! Vols una comprensió més profunda de tu mateix i del món? Valores el diàleg profund, honest i respectuós? Si és així, aquesta trobada serà molt interessant per a tu. Es tracta d'una reunió bilingüe; on podrem intervenir tant en català com en espanyol. **ON ENS TROBEM?** Café de l'Opera (NOMES 3 ABRIL!) **QUAN ENS TROBEM** Els divendres de 19:30 a 21:00 (HORARI ESPECIAL 3 ABRIL!) Si us plau, arribeu a temps. Començarem puntualment **QUANTES PERSONES ENS REUNIM** Es proposen sessions amb aforaments diversos, de manera que el nombre d'assistents pot variar cada setmana **QUÈ PASSA A LES REUNIONS** A cada reunió tenim una discussió utilitzant el mètode socràtic:[ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socratic_metho](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socratic_method)d. Fem, responem i discutim preguntes i idees per estimular el pensament crític i ampliar les nostres perspectives amb alguns conceptes i pensaments en els quals mai hem pensat. L'objectiu principal d'aquestes trobades és enriquir-nos amb les perspectives dels altres, i no convèncer els altres sobre les nostres perspectives. Les reunions són sobre les nostres pròpies filosofies de la vida i no necessàriament el que els grans filòsofs i acadèmics han dit o escrit. No és un club de debat ni una plataforma per fer proselitisme. En canvi, posem èmfasi en qüestionar, tenir una mentalitat oberta i desafiar les nostres pròpies suposicions mentre escoltem i respectem les opinions compartides per altres persones. Una reunió de Sòcrates Cafè es considera un èxit quan els participants surten de la discussió amb moltes més preguntes de les que tenien al principi **QUINS TEMES ES DISCUTEIXEN A LES REUNIONS** Els participants suggereixen temes al principi de cada reunió. Després votem i triem el tema més popular per discutir-lo. No és necessària una formació acadèmica en filosofia; només es requereix entusiasme per intercanviar idees i punts de vista. Alguns exemples de temes escollits a reunions anteriors \- Per quins ideals val la pena morir \- Per què mai estem satisfets \- Per què els éssers humans estem informats que la societat va malament i els líders també estan ben informats\, i no obstant això les coses continuen igual \- És necessària la identitat \- Quin és el preu ètic i l'avarícia \- Què és la postveritat \- Com és possible que les persones a les societats democràtiques estiguin tan obsessionades pel poder? \(Desig de ser diferent\, millor\, més fort que els altres\)\- Què és l'amistat **QUI POT PARTICIPAR EN AQUEST MEETUP** Qualsevol persona és més que benvinguda a unir-se a les nostres trobades. Aquests events reuneixen persones de diferents orígens i cultures, tot i que no és obligatori tenir formació filosòfica. Els nostres participants habituals són persones que tenen desig d'una comprensió més profunda de si mateixos i del món. Persones que valoren el diàleg profund, honest i respectuós

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?

Attend a free seminar on how to have successful and lasting relationships. At this seminar you will learn: How to spot and handle negative and toxic relationships. How to get through the "rough patches" in a relationship. How to choose the right people to work with. The three things that make or break any relationship. How to make a good relationship great. All are welcome. Be sure to click on the red "Attend" button below to come to this local event. We look forward to seeing you there. Hosted by the Dianetics and Scientology Life Improvement Center of Central Ohio.

Sleep in on Sundays. When you've had your fill of pajama-time, roll out and have some tasty brunch with your fellow Humanists!

This is a free, in-person meeting on the subject of betrayals, losses and how to get over them so you can build lasting relationships. Burdened by a stressful relationship? Unhealthy relationships can trigger feelings of anger, despair or self-doubt. They can create dwindling spirals of fights and seeking to make-up, or trying to “pin the blame” on someone or something. If you don’t find the RIGHT reasons, or select the correct sources of the problem, the problem can just get worse and worse. Whether in love or personal ties, with friends or at work, our life really IS affected by the quality of our relationships. Good ones can promote pleasure and survival while less optimum ones can lead to annoyance, anger, self-doubt, stress, or even affect our health and ability to survive well. Whether you are suffering from a divorce, or a painful break-up, don’t know who to trust (or who to CHOOSE) as a partner, friend, boss or employee - the anxiety of relationship troubles can really make a mess of things. Maybe you’ve suffered a betrayal, or are dealing with hostility or criticalness or invalidation. Dwindling relationships can involve destructive behavior, where we hurt those we love, or start succumbing to self-destructive thoughts, attitudes or behaviors that spiral out of control and affect much more than our immediate relationship. Past losses in love or life can affect how we act or react to new people and situations and hold us back from even starting to create new, possibly great relationships! How can one get back onto a saner course of action? 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: human relationships! Break free from self imposed limitations Here we will discuss: • How to “erase” the trauma of past hurts and betrayals so that one isn’t always repeating past mistakes. • Why and how do the negative emotions of others affect you? • Why is my partner withdrawing and what can I do about it? • Why do we sometimes feel compelled to hurt the ones we love? • Fights & arguments - what's really behind them? • What underlies “corrosive criticism” or the need to invalidate self or others? • How one can stably change one’s outlook on life so they can affect positive change? • Where do compulsive destructive behaviors come from and what can be done about them? • How to form closer bonds & keep growing the relationships with the people you care about? • How to enhance one’s own ability to survive and create positive healthy relationships whether in love, family & friendships or in work, business or one’s career? Relationships can be hard and life itself IS challenging. Why not arm yourself with the knowledge and breakthroughs that have been made about the mind, mental reactions & interpersonal relationships, so that one has better awareness and control over themselves and life in general. Learn where painful experiences are “stored” and how they can unknowingly affect us. You will also find out how one can “erase” those past painful experiences so that one is free to move forward without being tripped up by the past. Learn too, about what can lead some people to become “toxic” personalities and how to identify those traits in others so you won’t be tripped up trusting the wrong person. Our free Meet-ups occur in a safe environment where one can learn, without fear of judgment or criticism, and without the recommendation of harmful mental techniques or therapies, just how YOU can get yourself onto a happier & more successful path: in love & in life. We look forward to having you join us! This class is sponsored by the Dianetics & Scientology Life Improvement Center of Central Ohio.
