Dialektika Hub

Welcome to

DIALEKTIKA

What are the questions thinkers have been grappling with across the centuries? For what reason haven’t they found any generally true answers? And why is it important to pose my own questions and find unconventional answers?

 

DIALEKTIKA HUB is a platform designed for those who are driven by curiosity and a vast thirst for knowledge without expecting concrete answers. Under the coordination of leaders in the fields of philosophy, education sciences, psychology, and neuroscience, the multidisciplinary DIALEKTIKA HUB workshops develop analytical, disciplined thinking and skills for analysis, persuasive argumentation, and verbal and written communication through contact with various forms and fields of knowledge.

About us

Rares

“<<You can resist the invasion of an army, but not an idea whose time has come>> ~Victor Hugo”. Founding this space where questions ricochet has been, ever since its concept a freeing release of an inner turmoil, a necessity for me, first and foremost. An art, a form of expression through which this team, motorised by our fascination with knowledge, aims to encourage questions.
<<One cannot learn philosophy, only to philosophise>> ~ Immanuel Kant”

Ioana

“Curiosity and passion to explore, to discover, to know have been, ever since I was young, some of the strongest engines of my being. In heated discussions with Rareș, I noticed how our vision and values ​​are aligned, harmoniously merging and thus giving rise to this initiative to promote multiperspectivism and interdisciplinarity among high school students. I am grateful to Ilinca and Matei, and later Mihai and Alexandru, because they joined us enthusiastically, together laying the foundations of a valuable project.”

Ilinca

“Philosophy has meant something important to me since I didn’t know what it was. But when I found out that everything that was happening in my head had an external correspondent, suddenly I was no longer alone. I made many friends, from Nietzsche to Camus and Cioran to others still alive – my friends. For me, this platform does not only mean the potentiation of the intellect and the subsequent hyperabstraction, it means belonging. What connects me to Ioana, Matei, Rares, Mihai and Alexandru is the thirst for knowledge, the childlike curiosity, the desire for more, and this is what I want all the participants in our workshops to find – in the amphitheater hall, but especially inside themselves.”

Matei

“<Philosophy?>: Everything started very spontaneously, in a place that <I discovered by mistake> – that’s how I met Rares. He made me aware that all the thoughts that left me as a simple viewer in front of an amalgam of poses were part of a theme, a philosophy. I found myself in a context where I met wonderful people, in a context which I’m glad to be a part of and in a team that puts a smile on my face every time I think about philosophy.”

Mihai

Dialektika for me started as an interesting event that some friends had organised. It quickly grew into a place where I felt like home, a place where I could ask any question and there would be someone willing to talk about it with me. More recently, I joined the team, primarily to develop the website, but also because I believe in the project and I want to be there for its growth.

FAQ

How do I sign up for the club?

We designed Dialektika as a platform with a dynamic member base. You can participate in as many workshops as you want, all you have to do is sign up through our form, which you can find in our instagram bio.

If we sign up through the form, do we get a confirmation email?

No, we have a whatsapp group to which we add all participants for any further information about the event. 

What comes after completing the form?

Depending on availability, you can participate in the workshop. After you complete it, we will add you to our whatsapp group. 

Can I sign up to workshops, even though I am a student in another highschool?

Yes, you are welcome, regardless of the highschool you attend!

When will the workshops take place, and will they happen in the morning or the afternoon?

We don’t have a set calendar, or a specific time of day. As we fix each workshop, we announce it, including all details, on our instagram account, so watch our page!

Can I actively take part in the speakers’ presentations?

Yes, we actually reccomend it! For this reason, each workshop will have a section for questions from the crowd, and the workshops structured as open discussions speak for themselves:)

At the moment, the official language of our platform will be Romanian. 

Can I participate online?

Yes, we have a youtube channel where we live stream most, if not all workshops, and the video recordings are available after the date of the workshop as well.

Do I need to have read any philosophical texts to participate?

Not necessarily. If you want to try something new or you like the subject of the workshop, we invite you to sign up!

Do you think people will still be interested in philosophy if society is becoming a dystopia day by day?

It is not a matter of preference, rather of necessity: knowledge and development in this direction are the only sure method to raise the chances of avoiding catastrophes.

What better way to do it than show you all of our differing perspectives on philosophical matters in the form of a blog?

For people passionate about philosophy, but unable to participate in the workshops, we introduce our podcast!! Available in full quality on youtube, it approaches philosophical questions in a mediated discussion environment, Alexandru Marin and Rares Fartusnic being our skilled moderators.
