What we’re about
Welcoming all philosophers and anyone who love a good argument!
Please join us for the Clearwater Socrates Café - a special type of conversation!
From https://katherinecadwell.wordpress.com/guidelines-to-facilitating-a-socrates-cafe-discussion/ -
"A Socratic dialogue is unique in that it encourages participants to join together to seek a deeper meaning of a question, a reading and/or a problem. Rather than being a debate or a discussion, Socratic dialogue is an intentional conversation where participants are encouraged to listen to each other and to learn from one another. This form of discourse- and its focus on the search for knowledge- comes from Socrates, who observed 'Wisdom Begins in Wonder.'
Socrates Cafes begin with a question, chosen by the group, that forms the basis of discussion for the gathering."
