Abstract
Philosophy Cafe is a category of informal philosophical activity, distinct from formal philosophical activities such as Socratic dialogue. As well as performing the regulative functions of philosophical counseling and practical philosophy, Philosophy Cafe thus introduces a new lifestyle. 1957 Coffee is in the campus of Inner Mongolia University and serves in this paper as an example of Philosophy Cafe. 1957 Coffee has identified three streams of activities, namely: “shared thinking” (sixiang 思享), “shared reading” (duxiang 读享) and “shared pleasure” (yingxiang 影享). Each activity involves two of the most basic philosophical studies: thinking and communicating. Taking “shared thinking” as an example, I will present some of the activities that are already carried out and clarify the theoretical grounds on which they are based. While the practical operation of 1957 Coffee is very much in the service of philosophical research and inquiry, it also constructs an exemplary platform for philosophical practice across the campus.
