Lunch with Socrates
Sunday, September 28 | 12:30 PM | Russian Center | Gold Room
The Greek philosopher Socrates famously said that "the unexamined life is not worth living." Taking this as a starting point, Socrates in San Francisco sponsors events in which San Franciscans can begin a dialogue on "Life, God, and other small topics." Leading thinkers in science, philosophy, literature, religion, and the arts are featured in lectures and onstage conversations about the "big questions." Come learn more about Socrates in San Francisco and about the upcoming event on October 16: a debate between N.T. Wright and Bart Ehrman entitled, A Good God? A Dialog About the Problem of Suffering and Evil. Over lunch, we will discuss the vision for Socrates in San Francisco, how you can be involved and invite your friends/colleagues to these events and also give an introduction to Wright and Ehrman's competing treatments of the problem of evil.
