Socratic seminars are small groups, 5-15 people, employing the time-tested method of critical thinking used by Socrates to challenge the paradigms of the people. Seminars promote productive dialogue, civil discourse, critical thought. This is a skill that is learned, and must be practiced or it is lost. Liberty Seminar: This seminar is designed to introduce students to the foundational ideas of free and prosperous societies. We use the Socratic method of dialogue to facilitate critical thinking and examination of these ideas, and encourage testing them against opposing view points.
