On Saturday, July 19 the next meeting of the Practical Philosophy Club will again take place at the Kingdom (Biskupia St. 18/1). This time, we the topic is "controversial opinions". The meeting will start at 4:30 p.m., and the discussion will be held in English. Admission, as always, is free.
What actually makes an opinion controversial? Is it what is said, who says it, or how much it goes against mainstream thinking?
Should all opinions be allowed, or are there limits? Where do you draw the line?
Is it more important to speak your mind, or to be considerate of how your opinion affects others?
What’s a controversial opinion you hold—or used to hold?
Can expressing a controversial opinion be a sign of bravery?
Do controversial opinions help spark meaningful conversation, or do they make things worse?
Have you ever changed your mind about a controversial opinion? What caused that shift?
Should we try to talk about controversial topics calmly, or is the emotional intensity part of what gives them power?
Do some people share controversial views just to stir things up or get attention? Why do you think that happens?
