Anyone ever heard of a Socrates Cafe?
Rather interesting…I’d join one myself, but the closest one to where I live is right in the heart of the inner-city in Detroit. 
Kind of an interesting idea though…
I’ve read the book, written to the author.
So is this better or worse or just different from a great-books discussion group?
essentially, yes. But it is guided through a process of Socratic questioning.
