Philosophical Matinee - A Word on: Vacation from the Self. About Leisure. Escape and Freedom.

About the event series: What does it mean to philosophize in our Matinées and Soirées? Philosophizing means: thinking together, asking questions, discovering different perspectives. We examine arguments, question assertions, and sometimes take a step back to reflect on our own opinions. It’s not about being right or knowing everything already. What matters more is curiosity, openness – and the desire to give our own thoughts a breath of fresh air. Anyone who wants to contribute is welcome to do so. Those who prefer to simply listen are equally welcome. Prior knowledge? Not necessary. And because thinking is easier when one feels comfortable: a pleasant atmosphere and a small refreshment will be provided.

In the Matinées, backgrounds, perspectives, and anecdotes from the history of philosophy will be presented – the discussion will be moderated. In the Soirées, a guest is additionally invited, who brings specific knowledge and stimulating contact for follow-up questions: philopraxis@danielehollick.at, 0676 9491438.
