What is silence? What is wisdom? How do you know youÆre here? Socratic dialogueùfor kids? At least the answer to this last question is an easy, resounding Yes! The rest youÆll have to think about and discuss with your friends, which is just what philosopher Christopher Phillips is hoping for. He has long been leading thinkers of all ages on a thoughtful and thought-filled quest for knowledge, and this picturebook models for young children that mulling over some of lifeÆs big questions can be done anytime, anywhere.
Called a ""modern-day Socrates"", Christopher Phillips travels the U.S., facilitating hundreds of Socrates Caf?s where ordinary people gather to ask questions ù and questions about questions. He is the founder and executive director of the nonprofit Society for Philosophical Inquiry, and the author of one book for grown-ups, Socrates Caf?: A Fresh Taste of Philosophy.
