A foremost specialist in the Socratic Method, Phillips reminds us that we ought to ask questions — “not about any chance question,” as Socrates put it in Plato’s Republic, “but about the way one should live.”

Dedicated to the Jeffersonian idea of freedom: life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, his goal is to inspire curiosity and wonder, to nurture self-discovery and democracy.

Join us in dialogue as he leads us in a space of human interaction and shares aspects of his new book, Constitution Café (W.W. Norton, 2011), in which he describes his launch of an initiative aimed at generating a new, nationwide Constitutional Convention.
