Los Angeles 🇺🇸 Practical Philosophy Meetup

🏛️ WHAT'S PRACTICAL PHILOSOPHY ABOUT? Practical Philosophy is a weekly meet-up that brings critical thinkers together for an opportunity to dive deep on a topic, practice communicating, and building a community. All with no ‘official’ philosophy knowledge required! 😎 Practical Philosophy is based on the idea that philosophy should be accessible to all, and not something reserved only for academics. Each week we choose a topic, and the goal is to use the conversation to develop our critical thinking and communication as we explore that topic. The goal is to help develop our Critical Thinking, Communication, and Community 🙌 📓 HOW DOES IT WORK? Each week, we pick one topic and discuss it. The topic for the week is shared, generally in the Whatsapp group, along with jump-off points to get the conversation going. If the group gets bigger than 10-12 people, we will break into smaller groups. This way we are able to maintain a conversational flow and ensure everyone has a chance to participate. General Meeting Agenda Each Practical Philosophy begins at 7:00p and follows this general timeline: * 7:00-7:15 - People arrive and chat, get to know each other before the ‘official' start. * 7:15-7:25 - Break into groups and do intros; explanation of Practical Philosophy and the topic for the week, review the discussion guidelines so attendees know what to expect.
