Philosophy only something for the smart and intellectuals among us? no! Philosophy is already in small everyday things, which you can talk about endlessly. From small annoyances, such as relationship troubles and your annoying boss, to the joys in life, such as a new love or your dream trip. An ideal place to share your worries is of course the bar of your favorite pub.
During the Night of Philosophy on April 15 in dbieb, the ‘bar philosopher’ offers a listening ear and warm words. With a wink of course. To then go into the night inspired.
This year, dbieb is celebrating the fifteenth Night of Philosophy and the program is more varied than ever. After all, philosophy belongs to everyone: it is part of everyday life and we philosophize a lot without even realizing it. Where one prefers to listen to a well-known philosopher, the other prefers to improve the world while enjoying a drink. The bar philosopher understands this like no other.
Terminal seriousness
With warmth and humour, the bar philosophers discuss great and small suffering with the guests of the Night. After all, there is always something and everyone messes around in life. Stand-up psychology, they call it themselves. Arno Broere is one of them: ,,We help you to get moving on a theme you are struggling with. Because we humans take ourselves quite seriously, and if we’re not careful we get a new welfare disease, the state of terminal seriousness.” You can learn from other people’s problems, sometimes listen in on a conversation and of course also listen to the bar philosopher yourself. Everyone is welcome.
Life on the heels
In addition to the bar philosopher, the viticulturist also likes to talk to visitors. After all, wine and philosophy have been a golden combination for centuries. Those who prefer a more serious approach to philosophy can choose from a wide range of philosophers, scientists, artists and makers who challenge you to philosophize with them. ComedyNight’s stand-up comedians close the Night with a smile and ridicule the daily concerns.
Practical information
The Night of Philosophy takes place during the national Month of Philosophy, which is always celebrated in April. De Nacht offers talks and interviews, but also music, philosophical conversations at the bar and much more. For more information and the full program, visit the dbieb website: www.dbieb.nl .
