Enlightenment: Philosophy Salon
Sometimes people say that they feel most lonely when they are around other people. We may be surrounded by kindness and goodness, but not know what to do with it. Enlightenment - the central concept in many religious traditions - is similar. It can be right at hand, but seem out of reach. We are so used to darkness that we don't know what to do with the light. In this Philosophy Salon, we will look at the idea of enlightenment in different spiritual traditions, and try to understand whether light and darkness are mutually exclusive things. What is spiritual and psychological blindness? And what does it really mean to see?
Meeting Information
Doors open at 18:45 and close at 19:10. Please be on time! We won't be able to accommodate attendees arriving after 19:10.
Philosophy Salons
The Philosophy Salons are gatherings of curious people to explore big ideas with an open mind. The Philosophy Salons are organized by Anya Farennikova, a philosopher of mind based in Amsterdam. We dive deep into beliefs and ideas, dive out, and have fun along the way!
