Filosofie voor het Leven is on a mission. A mission to seek wisdom that not only sounds good, but that you can actually put to use in your own life. That’s why we’re d elving into 2,500 years of philosophy and translating the ideas of great t hinkers into an interactive, accessible and lively evening. Not a lecture, but an experience. One from which you’ll hopefully go home with more ques tions than you came in with.

On 3 February, Filosofie voor het Leven will start the conversation with philosopher Stine Jensen on the theme of ‘The Courage to Fail’. Pay attention: this conversation is in Dutch. Duri ng this evening, Jensen will reflect on questions such as: is it acceptabl e to fail in a society centred on high expectations (of oneself and from s ociety), achievement and success? Must one always strive for perfection an d success? When does making mistakes elicit sympathy, and when does it pro voke horror? And do we always have to learn from our mistakes? In 2021, sh e published the book 'Faalmoed' (The Courage to Fail), an ode to those who dare to go through life vulnerable and stumbling.

Don’t expect an e vening where you simply sit back and relax. We’ll be engaging in conversat ion with one another and with the audience, testing your philosophical kno wledge in a quiz, dishing out beer mat wisdom and getting a bit carried aw ay with Plato. Because philosophy only truly comes to life when you explor e and question it together, and every now and then simply have a laugh at yourselves.

We are Tijmen (’73), Marlous (’85) and Eva (’93). We are at different stages in our lives, but we all face the same questions. How do we deal with climate change, identity, polarisation and the pressure t o keep going round and round? And perhaps the most important question of a ll: how do you stay true to yourself in a world that seems to be spinning ever faster?

Fortunately, we are not the first to give this some tho ught. For over 2,500 years, philosophers have been pondering precisely the se kinds of questions. That is why we are on a mission: to seek out wisdom that does not remain on the bookshelf, but which you take home with you. Practical guidance for life, hence the name Filosofie voor het Leven (Phil osophy for Life).

With ‘Philosophy for Life’, we organise evenings w here we explore the major themes of our time together with inspiring think ers. With substance and a touch of fun. Featuring quizzes, discussions wit h the audience, beer mat aphorisms, unexpected insights and plenty of scop e to let our Plato fly every now and then.
