"The unexamined life is not worth living." Implement these famous words by Socrates on the last Saturday of every month. Get together with others to discuss a deep and open-ended topic of one's choice using the Socratic Method. Socrates Cafes were founded by author and scholar Christopher Phillips in 1996.
