Christopher Phillips, internationally known philosopher and author of bestseller Socrates Café: a Fresh Taste of Philosophy, and The Philosophy of Childing: Unlocking Creativity, Curiosity and Reason through the Wisdom of our Youngest, will be at Harwood Union High School on November 13th as part of Harwood’s popular Socrates Café program.

The Joslin Memorial Library and the Waterbury Public Library join forces with Harwood for this opportunity for community members of all ages to discuss the question “How do we Balance Freedom and Security in our Country today?”

The event will begin in the Harwood Library at 6pm. Dr. Phillips will kick off the evening after which participants will break off into small groups. Harwood students who are experienced in leading Socratic Dialogues will facilitate these discussions. After small group discussions, the groups will reconvene to debrief and summarize. Refreshments will be offered at the end of the evening at 8 pm.
