Remember when you were young, and you reveled in asking big questions? Were you that kid who wanted to know about life, the universe, and everything? In this session, we'll rekindle that spark of inquiry and bravely ask things for which there isn't just one answer. We'll explore the role of philosophy in the 21st century, and not only play with philosophical questions, but discuss practical ways in which we can use them to grow, both personally and professionally. We’ll practice asking questions in a way that really opens up dialogue, and find ways to disagree peacefully. Above all else, we’ll take pleasure in “Why”, the way we did when we were small.
