Don't even know who they are? Then Socrates Café may be the philosophy group for you. It's an approach that takes philosophy "out of the ivory tower and back into the lives of ordinary people, where it belongs." It's where people from different backgrounds get together and exchange thoughtful ideas and exp …

How we choose books is a little different too. We don't really discuss the book before reading it. Someone at the meeting suggests a book they w …
