Why do patterns in nature like flowers, insects, snowflakes, butterflies, crystals, and even the laws of physics so often exhibit symmetry? Does symmetry reveal something deeper about reality itself? For centuries, philosophers, mathematicians, and scientists have explored this question. Hermann Weyl described symmetry as one of the central organizing principles of nature and human thought, while Pierre Curie’s famous principle states that effects cannot have less symmetry than their causes. But what does that really mean? Is symmetry merely a useful mathematical concept, or is it deeply woven into the very fabric of reality? Join us for this English-language discussion as we explore one of philosophy’s most beautiful ideas - symmetry. This topic lies at the intersection of philosophy, mathematics, physics, psychology, and aesthetics. But no background in philosophy or any related field is needed - just curiosity.
