“The Elks, the Shriners, and the bowling leagues are too far gone to be mourned. Even our dining has become solitary if our cultural commentators are to be believed. Office communities breathe on life support, as do many churches. Face-to-face interaction of any kind, much less substantive conversation, is increasingly hard to come by. But who mourns the decline of philosophical conversation? It has virtually disappeared, even at colleges and universities, and its vigor is diminished even in its designated departments. Agnes Callard’s new book, Open Socrates: The Case for a Philosophic Life, seeks to revive philosophical inquiry not only as a hobby or a decoration but as something central to a life worth living.” (03/07/25)
