Socratic Society

​​Join us for the eleventh meeting of Socratic Society!

​​​​​​​​This week’s topic: The philosophy of Apologizing

Some questions to think about:
- What are some necessary components of an apology?
- What makes some apologies good or bad?
- Is society better off when we have a norm of apologizing?

Optional reading (highly recommended): http://www.the-philosopher.co.uk/2016/12/the-philosophy-of-saying-sorry.html

​Schedule:

​​​​​​​​** 6:05 PM: Opening and Introduction ** We’ll do brief introductions and a topic-related icebreaker question. This is a chance to meet new members of the society.

​​​​​​​​** 6:10 PM: Resolution Presentation ** We'll introduce the resolution at hand, setting the stage for informed debate and introspection. Your initial vote will mark the starting point of our collective exploration.

​​​​​​​​** 6:15- 7:30 PM: Structured Dialogue ** This is the heart of our assembly. Speak, listen, and reflect as each member presents their stance, supported by personal insight, scholarly knowledge, or philosophical pondering. We will have a 10 minute break at 6:45 to walk around and mingle.

​​​​​​​​** 7:30 PM: Reflective Re-Vote ** After a session of thoughtful dialogue, we reassess our positions. Has the tide of opinion shifted?

​​​​​​​​** 7:40 PM: Informal Mingling ** We will move over to Paxti's, where we will continue the conversation over food and drinks.
