Description

A bracing, rollicking read about the spark that ignites when people start asking meaningful questions. Christopher Phillips is a man on a mission: to revive the love of questions that Socrates inspired long ago in ancient Athens. Phillips not only presents the fundamentals of philosophical thought in this charming guide; he also recalls what led him to start his itinerant program and re-creates some of the most invigorating sessions, which come to reveal sometimes surprising, often profound reflections on the meaning of love, friendship, work, growing old, and others among Life's Big Questions. How to Start Your Own Socrates Café guide included.
