L’anti-conférence philo par Studio Descartes

Studio Descartes boards the literary barge Nanna (Nanna, péniche littéraire) to offer a new way of engaging with philosophy: diving into the depths of daily life and uncovering its hidden treasures. It's the anti-lecture, the anti-conference.

The concept: Jules & Florian, co-founders of Studio Descartes, host the session alongside philosopher Charles Bobant, on the theme of philosophy of art. The audience submits questions at registration, the philosopher constructs the topic based on them, bringing out concepts, quotes, and current events, and discussions flow for an hour.

And because a good question sometimes deserves lingering on: a buzzer is on hand to interrupt, ask for an explanation, or point out whatever remains unclear.

An evening to understand, question, and above all… dare to think.
