SOCIETIES AND CLUBS

WHAT IS CONTEMPLA

Contempla is a space to look, to discover, to think, to dialogue: a place to be captivated by reality. Contempla is an attitude, a way of inhabiting the world. Contempla is a necessity, a different approach; it is to honor Truth, to let it speak in order to listen to it.
Contempla is a society of students who, from philosophy, want to delve into the great themes: art, freedom, transcendence, suffering, the meaning of life, morality, politics. Not in the abstract, but concretely, addressing the main elements of our present time.

WHAT DO WE DO IN CONTEMPLA?

At Contempla we carry out different types of activities:

  • Vinos Filosóficos: A bar. A theme. A speaker. A restless group. A wine. A teacher introduces the question and guides it. Afterwards, we dialogue, ask questions, share… and continue thinking together.
  • Conferences/testimonies: A classic lecture at the university, which delves deeply into a current issue. Or the testimony of a person who embodies the Truth with his life.
  • ContemplArt: An exercise in contemplation. Discovering in art, in nature… Beauty, the face of Truth. Going to a museum, attending an exhibition, going on an excursion, accompanied by someone who elevates the activity to an aesthetic experience

WHY IS CONTEMPLA FOR YOU?

Contempla is for me because here I not only listen, but I participate in the search for knowledge. Contempla is for me because I am a university student, and this is university. I want to understand the world in which I live, I want to stop and think, to listen to different positions, without fear, without the desire to impose, but for the pure desire for truth. Contempla is for me because it needs me, because with so much noise and speed, we do so much and think so little.
