Over 40 students and faculty gathered at the Philosophy Club’s annual food-raiser, Food For Thought, to hear Dr. Stewart Gardner’s take on “The Wealth of Wonder Waiting in a Socratic Dialogue”.
Dr. Gardner’s presentation touched on the layers of lessons Plato was able to fold into a single dialogue and the corpus as a whole, Plato’s the poetic presentation, and accented the accessibility of Plato’s writings. More than 100 items were collected for donation to local food banks; attendees surely received as many items to think about as they donated. The Philosophy Club and Department thank Dr. Gardner for donating his time to this event.
