Join Plato's Cave philosophers and UU Inquiring Minds this Sunday morning, January 19, 2019 at 9:00.

This Sunday, Dan and Ellen will moderate our discussion: "Engaging Young People with Philosophy and Meaning"

At the recent STOICON conference in October 2019, StoicDan presented an interesting trend from earlier in the year. Specifically, how Viktor Frankl's book, "Man's Search for Meaning", had inspired many young people to attend local philosophy discussions and ponder the big questions in life. We will watch the video of StoicDan's talk in Athens, Greece (5 minutes) and then discuss how compelling stories can engage young people. Plus, we'll continue exploring the theme of civil discourse from last week. In a time when the primary teen channels are YouTube and Instagram, we hope you can join us for a deep discussion on making the next generation more open-minded.

Join the Inquiring Minds discussion – be educated; be wise.

Coffee? Yes.
