SUMMARY:Gibsons Library: Philosophy Cafe
DESCRIPTION:What is the true meaning of “success” in life? What is a “good education”? \nJoin the discussion as we talk about the eternal Big Questions\, moderated by a trained philosopher. The moderator’s aim is not to find winners and losers in a debate\, but to use all viewpoints as clues to the puzzle that\, if completed\, would offer us a truth of sorts. A different topic each time. All are welcome\, including those who would rather mostly listen. \nFacilitated by: Dr. Stephen Hare \nIn person\, drop in. \nWe also host an evening session on one Wednesday evening a month for folks who can’t make it during the day.
