My mission with this web site is to share with other interested persons some of my personal thoughts and feelings about and my experiences with Socrates Cafe and Tea With Socrates. As such, this is a personal web page and does not intend to or pretend to represent any official positions, opinions, or policies of the originator of the Socrates Cafe concept, Christopher Phillips, or his organization, The Society for Philosophical Inquiry, or any of the other fine moderators of the various incarnations of Socrates Cafe here in Charlottesville and elsewhere in the world. Although I do not wish to speak for anyone but myself, I do welcome input from everyone. I hope that in sharing my thoughts, feelings and experiences, I will stimulate your thinking and encourage you to organize your thoughts sufficiently so that you may share them with myself and others.
