Socrates Café is a non-profit voluntary 'group', whom seek the truth. Meeting regularly, participants are given time to brainstorm questions to discuss. The group, upon consensus, begins the discussion with one question, but once we start... let your thoughts run wild!
And the discussion had begun!
Questions proposed in some of Mr. Phillips' first few cafés from his book Socrates Café: A Fresh Taste of Philosophy are listed below:
- "What is insanity?"
- "Why question?"
- "Is there such a thing as human nature?"
- "Does human nature vary across time and cultures?"
- "When is life not worth living?"
- "How can we overcome alienation?"
- "Was it 'crazy' of Socrates to prefer death?"
The goal of the Café is to leave the discussion with much more questions than you arrived with. ;)
In the video bar below, the Youtube interviews will help you in understanding what we are about.
