What is a Philosophy Cafe? This is a group conversation organized by Useful Philosophy, designed to help you spot the weaknesses in your own certainties. It is low-pressure, high-clarity, and strictly "No Guru". We live in times of "winning" arguments, where we lose finding truth and understanding. If you are tired of shouting matches and looking for a space to actually think out loud, join our Philosophy Cafe for philosophical conversations over brunch. Bring in your questions to philosophize with the group! We put them to a vote and select the most popular question to discuss in the session. We are ditching spiritual cliches and shallow mantras to dive into the dilemmas of modern life. Whether you are curious about why you believe what you believe or just want to enjoy an afternoon of interesting conversations over coffee, this is your ‘third space’ for clarity. This isn't a book club. You don't need to have read a single page of Plato to join. As a group, we will use Socratic questioning to peel back the layers of the topic at hand. What we won't do: ❌ Listen to long rambles ❌ Debate for the sake of "winning" ❌ Speak in academic jargon What we will do: ✅ Ask good questions ✅ Challenge the "obvious" ✅ Drink good coffee What's new: + Theme for this session: Death Example Qs: Why do we dread the nonexistence after death, yet feel indifferent about the nonexistence before our birth? Would immortality make human life meaningless? When we grieve, are we mourning for the dead or for ourselves? + A brief on the theme by Sayli +Early RSVP open for members on the Whatsapp broadcast list to prioritize spots for regulars -------------- About the facilitator: Sayli is someone who lives in between life and death and a self-identified weirdo. About the organizer: Basit Manham is a philosophical counselor at Manham Philosophical Consulting and runs Useful Philosophy - We rescue useful ideas from philosophy books and make them accessible to all.
