During the meeting held at the Casa de Pepino Cultural Centre, the philosophical vision of five outstanding philosophers from different times and places was presented: Buddha, Plato, Marcus Aurelius, Hypatia and Helena Blavatsky.

 

The attendees shared a snack with the philosophers and had the opportunity to interact with them, asking them questions related to existential, ethical and philosophical issues. They reflected on the relationship between the macrocosm and the microcosm, evolution, pain and happiness, among other issues. It was striking that, despite the different circumstances in which these characters lived, their teachings have great points in common and a shared search.

The event was well attended and attracted the attention of the local media. The event was publicised in La Voz del Interior, the newspaper with the largest circulation in the province, and the of the Directorate of Culture of the City of Cordoba. In this way, an alliance was established for the realisation of this and other activities in different cultural centres of the city for 2025.
