『うごく哲学』では毎月ひとつのテーマについて英語で話し合います。相手に耳を傾け、自分の意思を伝えて交流する。語り合うことから新しい発見があるかもしれません。みなさまのご参加をお待ちしています。
UGOC Tetsugaku met in its first iteration on February 15th, 2020 at Ryosoku-in Temple in Kyoto's Gion district. We had a simple proposal: "Let's talk about beauty." Since that first meeting, our goal has been to draw on the Socratic method to provide our participants with a structure and forum to talk about the things we hardly have a chance to talk about and talk with people we hardly have a chance to talk with.
Through imaginative discussion, we are reminded of philosophy's role in everyday life. Through discursive feedback, we are challenged to proactively take on the joys and responsibilities of thinking.
We hope to talk (and think!) with you soon,
Team UGOC Tetsugaku (more about us here)
『うごく哲学』は、2020年2月15日「美について」というシンプルな問いから、京都祇園にある建仁寺両足院で始まりました。初回よりソクラテス式の問答法（ソクラテスメソッド）を取り入れ、普段あまり話す機会のない事がらについて、またなかなか出会うことのない人同士が話し合う仕組みと場づくりを行なっています。
想像性に溢れた話し合いを通し、日々の哲学の役割について気付いていく。とりとめのないやり取りから生じる、思考する楽しさと責任に、積極的に取り組んでみるのはいかがでしょう。共に話し（考えて！）みませんか。

With generative AI, people are finding new ways to carry out creative tasks, such as brainstorming, writing, and image making. At the same time, this new technology raises many questions about the nature of creativity.
From novels to gossip, theater to cinema, we all enjoy a good story. Stories can "hook" us; good stories are "compelling." But are stories more than entertainment?
When we say something is "superficial," we often mean that it lacks substance, or that it leaves a washy impression, soon to be forgotten. By contrast, something with "depth" indicates some unchangeable aspect and leaves us with a lasting impression.
