Café Philo: Joy

Café Philo Waterloo Region

This is a FREE event and will be held on Zoom.

French philosopher Simone Weil said, “A test of what is real is that it is hard and rough. Joys are found in it, not pleasure” (Gravity and Grace). In this sentence, Weil captures an essence of joy that differentiates it from happiness or other feelings of pleasure: first, that joy is found, second, that it is found in what is real and what is difficult. In this café philo, we will explore the meaning of joy: where it can be found and why it is worth seeking. Joining us for this panel are Carla Beharry, Selam Debs, and Dr. Christine Wekerle. In these on-line cafés philo, we bring together interdisciplinary perspectives for hour-long conversations. Our cafés philo are moderated by feminist philosopher and educator Dr. Katy Fulfer.This event is made possible through a community grant from the City of Kitchener. We thank Inter Arts Matrix for their continued support.
