“*Ha összetaposol egy csótányt, hős vagy; ha egy szép pillangót, gonosztevő. Az erkölcsnek vannak esztétikai kritériumai.*” Friedrich Nietzsche “*A művészet nem önmagáról szól, hanem arról a figyelemről, amit felé irányítunk.*” Marcel Duchamp Üdvözlünk az első, magyar nyelven megrendezett filozófiai beszélgetésünkön! Ez egy kísérlet is: közös gondolkodás, kérdezés és nézőpontváltás – nem előadás, nem vita, hanem figyelmes jelenlét. Ezzel az alkalommal egy olyan témát választottunk, amely nap mint nap hat ránk, mégis ritkán állunk meg kellő alapossággal megvizsgálni: az esztétikát. Mindannyian folyamatosan esztétikai ítéleteket hozunk. Emberekről, márkákról, tárgyakról, városokról, ételekről, rituálékról. De vajon ezen ítéleteink tényleg csak az „ízlésünkből” fakadnak? Velünk született adottság, vagy tanulás és nevelés eredményei? Az esztétika nem pusztán külsőségekről szól. **Értékrendszer.** Formálja a vágyainkat, az identitásunkat, a bizalmunkat, és bizonyos esetekben maguknak a dolgoknak a jelentését is. Ez az alkalom nem arról szól, hogy „mi szép”. Arról szól, honnan **jön a szépség**, miért van ekkora hatása az életünkre, és hogyan határoz meg – vagy akár alakít – annyi mindent körülöttünk. Nem kell művészeti vagy divatszakértőnek lenned, de légy nyitott különböző nézőpontokra. Ha mindenki egyetért, akkor a beszélgetés valószínűleg kudarcot vallott. **Az alkalom menete** 1. **Bemutatkozás (10 perc)** Kérünk, hozz magaddal egy tárgyat (lehet egy kép a telefonodon is), amit szépnek tartasz. Lehet irodalmi idézet, egy gondolat, egy koncepció – bármi, amit esztétikailag értékesnek tartasz. 2. **Bevezetés az esztétikába – Hallay Erik filozófus** **(kb. 20 perc)** Erik rövid áttekintést ad az esztétika fogalmáról, történetéről és jelenéről. 3. **Kérdések, amelyeket a beszélgetés során körbejárunk:** **(kb. 1 óra 30 perc)** 4. Velünk született a „jó ízlés”, vagy tanuljuk? 5. A szépség társadalmi konstrukció? 6. Lehet valami csúnya mégis szép – és fordítva? 7. Létezhetnek egyetemes esztétikai mércék? 8. Létezhet művészet közönség nélkül? 9. Van-e evolúciós előnye a szépségnek? 10. A vágy formálja az esztétikát, vagy az esztétika a vágyat? 11. Magadért öltözködsz úgy ahogy, vagy a társadalmi elfogadásért? 12. Lehet a szépség erkölcsi állásfoglalás? 13. A művészetnek meg kell nyugtasson, fel kell kavarjon, vagy próbára kell tennie érzéki preferenciáinkat? 14. Lehet-e esztétikai értéke az AI által generált művészetnek? 15. Elveszíti-e egy műalkotás az értékét, ha könnyen megismételhető? 16. Túlértékelt az eredetiség? 17. Ha holnap eltűnne az esztétika, mit veszítenénk el először: az örömöt, az értelmet vagy hierarchikus viszonyokat? 18. Morálisan felelősek-e a művészek a munkájukért? 19. Hol húzódik a határ művészet és design között? 20. Miért fordítunk több figyelmet a „szép” fajok védelmére, miközben a „csúnyákat” figyelmen kívül hagyjuk? **RSVP:** Kérjük, jelezd részvételedet a Meetup felületén, hogy biztosítani tudjunk számodra helyet. Ha teheted, akkor megköszönnénk, ha **400 Ft** vagy afeletti értékben hozzájárulnál adományoddal a meetup költségeinek fedezésére.

**\*\*Please read before registration - paid event\*\*** *Already exhausted by the words “resolution, goals and visionboard”?* *When was the last time you actually stopped to check in with yourself?* *What if clarity came from slowing down, not speeding up?* **CTRL+ALT+ME** is a gentle reset—not a “new year, new you” situation (because… no). This isn’t a productivity workshop or a vision-board goal setting kind of activity. Time is weird and kind of fluid anyway, so, consider this a pause button rather than a fresh start. Through art therapy, we’ll reflect on what’s been quietly holding us back, where our energy’s been leaking, and what no longer deserves our attention. No pressure to have answers. Just noticing, becoming conscious, and shifting perspective—with intention and curiosity. It’s a chance to try something new, step a little outside your comfort zone, and sit with the reflections you didn’t have time for during the rushhour. Leading the workshop: Jennifer Nyerki (Art and Sociotherapist Candidate) Date: 18 January 2026 Time: 09:30-13:30 Location: Kisvilág Fee: 8,500 HUF Payment: via bank transfer only! Places are filled in the order of payments. To register, please send an email to [thearttofreedom@gmail.com](mailto:thearttofreedom@gmail.com) **Cancellation Policy:** \- Full refund for cancellations made more than 7 days before the workshop\. \- 50% refund for cancellations made within 7 days of the workshop\. \- Registrations may be transferred to another person with prior notice\. \- No refunds for no\-shows\. \- Full refund if rescheduled/cancelled due to the organiser\. \- No refund for late arrivals\. **What is art therapy?** Art therapy is a self-development tool that uses creative expression for emotional awareness and personal growth. The field of Art Therapy is diverse, with each branch having its own area of expertise - visual arts, movement, dance, music, and drama..etc The focus is not on the final artwork, but on the journey and what it reveals. **Important:** *This is not an art workshop or an art course. The workshop does not qualify and does not replace psychotherapy but is a meaningful addition to the self discovery journey. Furthermore, it is not recommended for those undergoing neurological or psychiatric treatment.* **What to expect:** \- no prior artistic skills or experience required \- various creative techniques \- group and individual exercises \- express and explore emotions freely \- process over outcome \- experience a supportive and inspiring environment\, the collective energy of the group can deepen personal reflection and foster a sense of belonging

What to expect: We’ll start with informal introductions, followed by a guided but relaxed discussion on current professional topics and ideas. There’s no fixed agenda—conversation will flow naturally based on the group. What to bring: Just yourself, curiosity, and an openness to good conversation (coffee optional but encouraged ☕️). Finding us: We’ll be seated inside EcoCafe on Andrássy út; look for the group of professionals gathered around a large table. I’ll arrive a few minutes early.

Do you like reading and self-reflection, but haven’t found the right place or time for it? Well, then I have good news for you! At this event, we’ll definitely tie you to a chair until you finish reading—after which you can reflect on your experience in writing and discuss it with others. (The rope for the chair is not included.) But seriously: if you want a space to read, reflect, be creative, and share with others, bring your favorite book and pen, and join us! No previous experience of writing is required and you can bring any book you like, this is a safe space—feel free to share your thoughts and approach others with kindness. **The event itself is free, but please get yourself a nice slice of cake, and sip of a tea and hot chocolate while reading.** The session begins with arrival and settling in, followed by a period of silent reading. Afterward, there is group discussion, personal writing and reflection, and a final group conversation with mingling to close the session. **⏱️ 15:00-18:00** **📍 V51 Café, Budapest, Mester u. 9, 1095** **🗣️ English**

In this session, we will finish **Chapter 7: Fine-tuning to follow instructions**. In the last session, we talked about how to prepare the dataset for instruction fine-tuning and in this session we will perform the fine-tuning and evaluate the model afterwards.
