Our latest podcast is with Noor Al-Hajji, organizer and facilitator of the Socrates Cafes in her hometown of Al-Hassa, Saudi Arabia, as well as at Arabian Gulf University in Bahrain, where both men and women from a number of countries in the Middle East take part. In her latest exchange with us, Noor shares in a most passionate and eloquent way how the version of philosophical inquiry she and I both seek to advance the world over via Socrates Cafe connects us to the past (including to Socrates) and the future, and how it cultivates an all-important ethical dimension that ideally drives a keener social conscience. Noor, a graduate student in the field of Geographic Information Systems, makes a remarkable comparison between her studies and philosophical inquiry, and how the unseen dimensions -- whether a band on the spectrum of an image, or an abstraction of a philosophical concept -- should drive our everyday actions, and in ways that in turn cultivate individual and societal excellence. Listen in. (I'm very excited that my firs book 'Socrates Cafe' will soon be published in Arabic, and we'll also soon have an Arabic version of our facilitators guide.)
