About this Event

Life Without A Purpose

It is said that an unexamined life is not worth living. But what if you examine your life - the things that happened and are bound to happen - and find it empty? Or perhaps you'll find that your life is just alright - not really empty, but not 'bright'. You lead a kind of lackluster existence - get up, go to work, exercise, eat, sleep. The bottom line is that we all want meaning. So how do we get to that? Do we need a singular purpose? A higher calling? A vocation, mission, or just an inspiring list of goals? In this Philosophy Salon, we will talk about life without a purpose and what is gained - not lost - if purpose is not what we really need and want.

Philosophy Salons

The Philosophy Salons are gatherings of curious people to explore big ideas with an open mind. The Philosophy Salons were created 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!
