Breaking Bread with Philosophy - An Update

When Marietta McCarty wrote her most recent book, she envisioned people using it as a guide for dinnertime conversation in people’s homes.

But enthusiastic fans are taking the book’s suggestions much further. 

Could getting together, most anywhere, to discuss IDEAS be the next big thing?

We consider the possibilities as the author of  The Philosopher’s Table makes a return visit to our studios.
