What we’re about
Know Thyself! Welcome all lovers of wisdom.
The goal of the Socratic Club is to bring together people from all different walks of life who are interested in discussing works of philosophy, theology, and literature by the greatest minds of history.
We are a diverse group of men and women who are intellectually sharp, open minded, and willing to learn and engage in dialogue on the path of wisdom.
Our meetings are two hours long the second Thursday of each month at Living Green Cafe starting at 6:30pm.
We love to see new faces: please feel free to send us a message or drop in for a meeting.

After great discussions in Kant, Mendelssohn, and Voltaire, we now turn to one of the greats in Enlightenment philosophy: G. W. Leibniz. Leibniz was a polymath, instrumental in both metaphysics and natural philosophy: founder of the theory of monads, determinate idealism, and calculus. Leibniz was greatly influential on German enlightenment philosophers such as Christian Wolf, and Immanual Kant, among others.
