Christopher Phillips has a passion for inquiry. A foremost specialist in the Socratic Method, sought after speaker, consultant and moderator, and noted author of works including Socrates Cafe: A Fresh Taste of Philosophy, Six Questions of Socrates: A Modern Day Journey of Discovery through World Philosophy, and Constitution Cafe: Jefferson's Brew for a True Revolution, he 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." He encourages us to turn on our childlike questioning lenses, and become our own best thinkers, askers, doers. Dr. Phillips travels the world over holding dialogues with people of all walks of life. He believes that the process of dialogue and the space of human interaction are good for us as individuals and essential for us as a society. His goal is to inspire curiosity and wonder of a transformative sort, one that nurtures self-discovery, openness, empathy. The acclaimed educator exhorts his fellow inquirers to discover their own unique stores of wisdom and chart, alone and together.
