Again, mea maxima culpa for missing the meeting on Sun, Dec 16. I've been racking my mind about some suitable questions to get the new year started and revitalize the group. One thought I've had was to draw from one of the questions from Christopher Phillips "Six Question of Socrates" [What is virtue? What is moderation? What is justice? What is courage? What is good? What is piety?]. Another thought is to to ask (without getting to political) "what is a good leader/how do you pick a leader?" Of course, I welcome other ideas.
The Altadena Socrates Cafe has been meeting for over 3 years. Inspired by Christopher Phillips' books, scores of people are meeting for these modern version of Socratic dialogue. These are intended to be group conversations which often move in a spiral, touching on topics in ways that may not be obvious at first. Our purpose is to bring back thoughtful dialogue in counterpoint to the shouting pundits of so-called debate on TV and radio.
We ask people to bring their questions/topics to the group and they are voted on at the beginning.
One need not be an academic or expert. We seek diversity of thought from people from all walks of life.
ALL ARE WELCOME. ALL WE ASK IS THAT YOU BRING AN INQUISITIVE MIND AND A WILLINGNESS TO LISTEN.
