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 Wednesday of each month.
We love to see new faces: please feel free to send us a message or drop in for a meeting.

See all- Letter From Birmingham Jail - Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.Panera Bread, Deerfield Beach, FL
Let's shift gears and move away from metaphysics and speculative idealism and rationalism towards more practical matters. For next group we will read through Dr. King's Letter from Birmingham Jail. Many of you will be familiar and some might never have read this before. Dr. King was more than a civil rights leader; he was an erudite scholar and consummate orator. He was deeply influenced by German existentialist theologians such as Paul Tillich, on whom he wrote his dissertation. Let us read with an open mind and discuss together next month. -Brent
