Inspiring courses

What is an inspiring course?

‍

Immerse yourself in the world of Greek philosophy, where the Agora was the place for rich and fascinating exchanges between philosophers and citizens on the subject Of politics : the affairs of the city, human affairs. How much Plato staged his master Socrates in his dialogues, during a banquet, surrounded by guests in search of truth on issues dear to our sensitivity. This first approach to philosophy posed friendship as a condition. Sine qua non philosophical dialogue. Friendship was that form of love necessary for the search for truth that inspired trust among all those who shared the space for dialogue.

Les ” inspiring courses” revisit this approach to the philosophical exercise closely linked to friendship as a prerequisite for this reflexive trend aimed at wisdom. It is a moment of exchange around a question or an assertion, the objective of these courses being to strengthen the dynamics of a group while dealing with a subject dear to all participants.

Shared speech has healing powers. Talking is good. You feel less alone in your worries, anxieties, or disappointments. We learn with and through others, we understand things better and then we find solutions to our possible problems together. We leave with a peaceful heart and enriched with new ideas. This is why these courses contribute to the well-being of participants while allowing them to become familiar with a subject that is important to them.

What about the philosophical position?

‍

The philosopher/course coordinator is the guardian of time and speech. He also plays the role of the facilitator in the exchange among the members of the group. It ensures the good participation of all in the space of dialogue. He takes up the content of the interventions, he relaunches the group on relevant points of view. He questions, he synthesizes the different ideas while maintaining the pace of the course.

‍

The duration of these courses is 2 hours with a break of 15 minutes between the two cycles. The subjects covered are mostly designated by the groups involved. Topics are also proposed based on a certain interest in concepts linked to a practical approach to philosophy.
