Philosophers Gather For RC Socrates Cafe

Victoria Wicks

A group of philosophical thinkers gathered at the Rapid City Public Library on Sunday, Nov. 13, to ponder the big questions. What is the meaning of being? What does it mean to be conscious? What is responsibility? How are we different from machines?

This session was led by Black Hills State professor Timothy Martinez. He spoke with SDPB's Victoria Wicks about the importance of hearing other people's ideas when forming your own.

The library plans to hold a Socrates Cafe every month at its downtown location. The next event is tentatively planned for Dec. 11, with Timothy Martinez again leading the group. Check the library's website in December for a solid date.

Rapid City freelancer Victoria L. Wicks has been producing news for SDPB since August 2007. She Retired from this position in March 2023.
