Underground Philosophy: Science and Magic

Science and Magic

Some dismiss this topic at first glance. Why place magic into dialogue with science?

Surely one is real; the other fantasy?

What value could there possibly be in exploring a philosophy of science and magic?

For the ontologically adventurous, the epistemically curious, and the skeptic alike…

On Thursday July 16th, Underground Philosophy returns..

Underground Philosophy is where spectators become participants. Experience live philosophy where audience members have the opportunity to ask questions, contribute to the field of meaning, and participate in conversations that venture through the ideas shaping our time.

How this works...

At Underground Philosophy, we sit before a small stage in the vault beneath Caz Reitop's. Members of the audience, guests, and members of Voicecraft Network will rotate places in dialogue on stage, facilitated by the host on the evening. When you book your ticket, you will be asked to select whether you're open to joining an open-minded, open hearted conversation.

RUNTIME

• 5.30 - Doors (Gather upstairs in the cocktail lounge)

• 6.00 - Start (take your seats at 5.50pm downstairs in the Vault)

• 8.00 - Event End

• 8.00 - Onwards: Optional speakeasy upstairs in the cocktail lounge. (There's a separate standup comedy event downstairs at 8.30.)

Guiding this collective inquiry is Tim Adalin, supported by members of The Voicecraft Network.

Tim is a philosopher, speaker, and connector of people, ideas, and praxis. He loves to bring thought to life in conversation.

He is the founder of The Voicecraft Project, Underground Philosophy, and host of the Altered States Of Conversation podcast.

About Underground Philosophy

Through altered states of conversation, Underground Philosophy connects Melbourne’s thinkers, artists, and seekers. Here we resist the capture of algorithms and dissociating ideology. When we come to Underground Philosophy, we come to connect and experience thinking you can feel—philosophy with soul. In so doing, we contribute to a field of attention that seeks to support a deeper integrity to civic discourse.
