"Beauty" – a concept that has captivated philosophers, artists, and thinkers for centuries, and in modern times, even inspired platforms like Instagram, dedicated to the creation and sharing of beauty. Our session, "Living the Beauty," invites you on a journey to explore the essence of beauty and how it can be perceived, created, and appreciated in our daily lives.

Throughout history, beauty has been a core ideal, a subject of contemplation and inspiration. But what defines beauty? Is it an inherent quality of things, or does it reside in the eyes of the beholder? These questions form the foundation of our exploration as we delve into the philosophy of aesthetics, examining how beauty is perceived through different cultural, artistic, and philosophical lenses.

Our session will leverage the works of notable philosophers and aestheticians to understand the various facets of beauty. We will discuss how beauty transcends the superficial, influencing our emotions, thoughts, and even our well-being. Participants will be encouraged to reflect on what beauty means to them and how they can cultivate an appreciation for beauty in their surroundings. Join us in "Living the Beauty" for an engaging and enlightening experience. 

Limited seats; reserve early! We would request a suggested donation of CHF 20-25 for the space.
