Heidelberg Philosophical Society

Dear all,

let us meet for a brunch (every 2 weeks).

The brunches are kind of the introductary events to our Philosophical community. The main purpose is to get to know each other and meet likeminded people as well as providing some overview about other events and formats. We do have a WhatsApp group where further events as well as book recommendations and alike are shared.

We then normally focus on some specific philosophical questions or concepts (mostly naturally or me moderating). That could be anything from ‘What is life?’ to ‘What is home for expats?’ to ‘How can we make life in post-modern societies more humane, more serving the basic human needs again?’.

After all we only have a few hours and it turns out of experience, that letting conversations flow, making some personal intro round, maybe rotating seats once, is already a good plan. If the group is small, deeper conversations happen almost every time.

Please be in time so we can make some round of introduction first and then engage in a lively conversation.

Be welcome and see you all there,
Andreas

Dear all,

there is a new Chinese Teehouse in Weststadt. We will get some introduction to Chinese tee with the option to taste it (probably 5€). Then we will read a few pages of Lao Tse and have the chance to discuss it with an expert in Chinese philosophy.

This time we are primary going to read chapter 6. In this chapter, the question of the female aspects of the Dao is put forward. We are going to discuss what the identification of the Dao with the mother or the vulva could mean for us. Or to put if differently, what are we going to find in the darkness of the valley?

Additionally, we may also consult chapters 20, 25, 52, 55, 61.
Looking forward to some interesting discussion and as always bring any translation or version you may find handy, useful, or enlightening.

See you on Wednesday the 9th!
