About The Dallas Socratic Society
The Dallas Socratic Society is a group that meets on the second Monday of every month (from 7:30 to 9:30pm) in order to discuss various topics in philosophy (generally) and philosophy of religion (in particular).  In a typical DSS meeting, someone reads a paper and we then have discussion. 

DSS participants place a premium on clear argument, reason and evidence.  The papers presented are intended to be both lucid and rigorous.  The primary tools of investigation employed by the DSS are those of analytic philosophy - although other perspectives are welcome.
