Cafe Philo DC is a moderated, philosophical roundtable discussion by and for the general public founded by Ken Feldman in 1999. Modeled on the Parisian prototype, the event welcomes all philosophically curious people to discuss the big questions in life. Topics usually encourage the practical application of philosophical principles. Past topics include: Am I sane? Does knowledge inhibit the imagination? What is humor? Is mathematics merely a human construct? Who belongs to that voice in my head? Does freedom of choice enslave us? Should atheists proselytize? and Is romance a necessary illusion?

Discussions usually take place on the 2nd and 4th Saturdays of the month and are complemented by a Yahoo discussion list called Cafe Philo DC Dialogue at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/cafephilodcdialogue/.

Please contact Ken Feldman at with questions and requests to be placed on the listserv for meetings and background material relevant to each topic.
