Christopher Phillips founded the Socrates Café movement in 1996 in a New Jersey coffeehouse. As a graduate student at Montclair State University, Phillips believed the demise of Socratic Philosophy was an impairment to society. So he inspired the establishment of over 300 Socratic discussion groups in the U.S. If your ideals parallel those of Phillips, the Charleston Socrates Café would like your company. The group meets 6-7 p.m. every second and fourth Monday of the month at Earth Fare in West Ashley. For more information, call (843) 720-5713. —Caitlin Baker
