Socrates Cafe is back! The Marian Sutherland Kirby Library has resumed regular Socrates Cafe meetings on the fourth Wednesday of the month. Individuals with inquisitive minds are welcome to join in lively conversation.
Socrates Cafe is a gathering where people from different backgrounds get together and exchange thoughtful ideas and experiences while embracing the Socratic Method. The topics to be discussed are chosen by the participants.
Participants are encouraged to come prepared to discuss important ideas thoughtfully and honestly, to respectfully question the ideas of others, and to carefully examine what you perceive to be logical inconsistencies.
The discussions will be facilitated by Steve Wallace who participates in several Socrates Cafe groups locally. The discussion will take place in the Community Room of the library. The library is located at 35 Kirby Ave., Mountaintop. Call 570-474-9313 for more information.
