Introduction to Socrates Caf??
The Weaver Library???s Socrates Caf?? invites you to take part in the upcoming season of this friendly discussion group, now in its??fourth year.
Would you like to participate?
Youthful voices are welcome.
Participants exchange ideas in the manner of the Greek philosopher Socrates and meet monthly throughout the year.??
Gatherings promote thoughtful, respectful inquiry on questions of universal interest, such as these: What are qualities of a good leader? Can you love someone you do not respect? What is life???s purpose?
The idea for the Socrates Caf?? evolved out of the 2001 book of the same name by Christopher Phillips, and has been embraced around the globe.
Given the success of past programs, moderator Betsy Shea-Taylor will now host two groups every month on the first and third Thursdays from September through May.??
Each group will begin at 6:25pm and end at 7:45pm.??
Registration is required as these are not drop-in groups.
Ms. Shea-Taylor, who is also a journalist and literacy tutor, and Weaver Library invite prospective members to stop in to the library???s Conference Room on Wednesday, August 23, 2017 any time from 4:30pm – 6:30pm to discuss the Socrates Caf?? discussion process. ??
Weaver Library is located at 41 Grove Avenue, East Providence, RI 02914. For more information or to register, contact Joyce May at (401) 434-2453 or eplibraryjoyce@yahoo.com.
