Philosophy Quest stimulate natural intellectual curiosity and self-exploration

Generally speaking, intellectual activities include reading books and using language.
However, Philosophy Quest’s activities provide stimulation that goes beyond visual information such as sound, scent, taste, and touch, such as art appreciation, tasting, music listening, and walking in nature, and provides experiences that cannot be experienced in everyday life.

Also, taking the time to grapple with philosophical questions will make you know your beliefs and values.
Additionally, developing critical thinking allows you to develop an objective perspective. This process leads to self-exploration, inner growth, and lays an important foundation for a more meaningful life.

Expanding your horizons and acquiring rich knowledge and understanding through interaction and deep dialogue with others will be a lifelong asset.

By immersing themselves in the scent of trees, the texture of the soil, the chirping of birds, and the colors of the sky, participants engage all their senses to deeply contemplate.

[Question exploration]

Question exploration is a process that participants can systematically learn about questions and explore their own questions. Participants communicate each other with carefully about their own questioning, and can become aware of the characteristics and biases of their questing, and through questioning others and feedback on questions, participants can brush up their questions.

[5 senses self-exploration]

Specifically, participants focus their attention on familiar landscapes, common foods, and beverages in their daily lives, savoring their textures, aromas, and flavors. By linking physical sensations to one's emotions and thoughts and verbalizing them, individuals can contemplate deeper self-exploration and the richness of life.
