Last night was, of course bistro, a new philosophy evening. Theme: the encounter.
They are precious to me, these evenings bistro philosophy. On the one hand, they avoid me geekiser me to death. On the other hand, they make me realize that, as my handwriting has atrophied due to lack of practice, and my oral memory is not what it was. How did Plato and his disciples then? By dint fill any return in a few seconds after the mouse, I sometimes lose interiority of things.
That beautiful twenty participants in last night so forgive me if I have not remembered everything, and in particular order and the quality of their interventions. This blog is an opportunity to complete my shortcomings.
Evening philosophy, then. The facilitator, Jerome Ferrari once will not hurt, had not prepared theme, or rather it was a relief in his sleeve, but preferred to see us vote. Each proposed his own and therefore we votâmes. Winner: the meeting.
This started me it seems a critique of the dominant ideology that "we must open up to others," it is meetings, "followed by a critique of mass tourism and meetings he is supposed to bring to people who think only one thing: vacation photos they can do subjecting those around them after travel is completed.
Soon, Jerome began deuleuziennes references on the carpet. For Deleuze, as I understand it, we find things, not people and these things are above all (design it inherits from Spinoza) a sum of characteristics. He was then a question of subjectivity and objectivity of the meeting. I proposed to myself, relying on the sociology of the waltz Rémi Hess, an approach to the encounter as intersubjectivity.
was followed, and the theme lasted until the end of the evening, the issue of meeting between civilizations. Levi-Strauss, his love of ritual and its rejection of globalization were widely discussed. We then put the idea of a possible progress of civilization (in distinguishing and civilizations) that would go along with a progress of human progress to distinguish from a male. There was much talk of Africa, Jerome knows well, having lived, and in particular the custom of female circumcision barbaric point of view of the West willingly quick to criticize. What Malians respond by pointing to the Western barbarism that leave the elderly in hospices. A skirmish then took place between Jean-Michel, relentlessly criticizing relativism and Jerome answered "Yes, but after quietly condemned the barbarity, what can you do? "And remember, a sign of bringing people together, there are now associations of Malians who struggle against female circumcision.
The last word was for Pascal, our host, who stressed the magic of his meeting with Jerome from him asking if he would host a café philo. And if the encounter, basically, was the magic? To you answer me, since my meeting with Jerome, Jean-Michel, Marie, Pascal and all bistrosophes just born this blog.
