| Café Philo DC: "What is the Role of Reason in Human Affairs?" |
Moderator: John McGuinness
Cost: Free
No Registration Required
Café Philo DC is a moderated, roundtable discussion 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? Is romance a necessary illusion? and Are There Moral Limits to Self-defense?
Discussions take place on the 2nd and 4th Saturdays of the month and are complemented by a Yahoo discussion list called Café Philo DC Dialogue at (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/cafephilodcdialogue/). Please contact Ken Feldman at [email protected] with questions and requests to be placed on the listserv for meetings and background material relevant to each topic.
(Note: The Library is located directly across the street from the Tenleytown Metro Station on the DC Metro's Red Line. On-street parking is also available.)
