SOCRATES CAFÉ:
Next meeting is Wednesday, August 21st at 3:00 p.m. at The Retreat
Library. A Socratic facilitator will meet with the interested group
once a month by bringing a set of ethical/moral questions espoused
by philosophers, journalists and social scientists. In a cordial and
friendly atmosphere our goal is to have stimulating conversations
designed to clarify many of our assumptions and beliefs currently at
play in todays’ America. The inquiry method used in our meetings
was started by the Greek philosopher Socrates (469-399 B.C.)
and is currently in use in most colleges and universities to
encourage the use of critical thinking skills.
