Summary: Meet on the lovely terrace of the Apollon cafe to enjoy the talk, while watching the sun go down. Meet some new people and learn something new.

June 2021 program- In Delphi -

3 introductory philosophy talks by James, with time for questions and discussion afterward.

-Monday Nights: 'Know Yourself’ - Socrates tells young Alcibiades; and we will look at Plato’s book ‘First Alcibiades' to help explain this ‘apparently’ easy idea. (We will also include a general introduction to Plato and Socrates .)

-Tuesday Nights: ‘The Nuts and Bolts of Plato’ - Helping us to understand and enjoy Plato’s books more by looking at 3 regular themes frequent throughout his writings – Metaphysics (the big stuff that's hard to prove), Psyche (the soul or 'X Factor' if it exists at all) and Ethics (the values and beliefs we have)

-Wednesday Nights: Plato’s Book ‘The Phaedrus' - suggesting that LOVE is an important driving force for our journey to the stars….. Includes the beautiful Platonic myth of The Charioteer
