Socrates Cafe open to the public – Discussion Question: How do we “live now” while still respecting the past?
January 9 @ 5:00 pm - 6:30 pm
Join us for the next Community Socrates Café
January 9th from 5:00 to 6:30 PM
Discussion Question: How do we “live now” while still respecting the past?
Students from Harwood’s Harkness Leadership class will be hosting a community Socrates Café on Thursday, January 9th from 5:00 to 6:30 PM in the HU library. A Socrates Café is an opportunity for dialogue about timeless and timely questions that all human beings deal with. Rather than being a debate or a discussion, a Socrates Café is a dialogue where participants are encouraged to listen to and learn from one another.
This form of discourse- and its focus on the search for knowledge- comes from the great philosopher Socrates, who observed that “Wisdom Begins in Wonder.” These gatherings are open to all community members, regardless of age, experience, or background. Harwood students who are experienced in leading Socratic Dialogues will facilitate the discussions.
Community members of all ages are invited, and refreshments will be provided. For questions and more information, please contact Adam Sargent at asargent@huusd.org.
