Discussion | Practical Philosophy Meetup in the Park


The goal of the Practical Philosophy Club is to create a community that is open to discussing ideas that more can be used practically in everyday life. This group isn’t aligning necessarily with the specific scope that traditional "philosophy“ and "practical philosophy“ may have in the academic world. They don't have topics that are off-limits and look to discuss all sides of a topic in order to: 1. Help you understand your point of view, 2. Give you different perspectives, and 3. Realize that we all have some common ground and just because someone isn't on your "side" doesn't mean they are your enemy. They value communication, simplicity, balance, honesty, and discernment as values to live by, and look to build a community around these values. The typical meeting is about 10-15 minutes of banter to warm up before they move to introduce the weekly discussion topics. If the group is large they will split into separate groups so as to maintain a conversational tone within the discussions. With 15 minutes left, they bring all of the groups together and take a group photo and conclude. less
