Philosophy Café

Wednesday November 27 @ 2:00 PM - 3:00 PM

Image shows a graphic based on the Thinker by Auguste Rodin, a sculpture situated atop a stone pedestal depicting a nude male figure sitting on a rock. He is seen leaning over, his right elbow placed on his left thigh, holding the weight of his chin on the back of his right hand. The pose is one of deep thought and contemplation, and the statue is often used as an image to represent philosophy.

What is the true meaning of “success” in life? What is a “good education”?

Join the discussion as we talk about the eternal Big Questions, moderated by a trained philosopher. The moderator’s aim is not to find winners and losers in a debate, but to use all viewpoints as clues to the puzzle that, if completed, would offer us a truth of sorts. A different topic each time. All are welcome, including those who would rather mostly listen.

November discussion:

“Democracy is the worst form of government, except for all the others.”

-Winston Churchill
