Tethered Souls

Gathering of Souls is just that a gathering of souls to inquire into the meaning of the universe through the soul as a lens or a window into reality. Consider it like a Banquet of Souls motivated by the publication The Banquet of Souls. With a group of soul searchers, we will explore all facets of the person, the soul, and the universe as it concerns all aspects of life and ethics.

Why does Agathon ask Socrates to lie down next to him?

Members explore the question of Agathon's relationship with Socrates as an avenue for understanding Plato's Symposium. This opens up several questions about the nature of dialogue in general as well as this specific dialogue as a means for arriving at the meaning of love in relation to wisdom. Along the way, we have some fun as well and discuss a variety of topics at the intersection of human relationships, psychological dispositions, cognitive training, illumination, transparency, and why the French seem to be so interested in eros.

What is the Socratic Method? Discussion, Dialectic, Philosophy as a Way of Life

Herein we discuss the nature of philosophy through the lens of the Socratic method as a vehicle to truth, knowledge, and understanding. The Socratic method becomes the primary, the best, and pedagogical way for arriving at truth and is, arguably, necessary to an understanding of all subjects. We situate this discussion in the nature of education and what it has become in the American school system. It serves, in part, as a critique and a call to take up the Socratic method, which we briefly describe. Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/gathering-of-souls/exclusive-content

An Intro to Tethered Souls__The Journey ahead

Here the tethered souls group reflects on the nature of the 'journey' and what it means to turn inward as is often described in the Plato, Augustine, and Descartes tradition of thought. By considering these ideas, we look ahead to the nature of discussion as a means for arriving at truth and a way to gain wisdom for the journey ahead.
