An evening exploring the ideals of democracy, freedom, & liberty. Jacob Needleman, professor of philosophy at San Francisco State University and author of The American Soul, will be the featured guest.

Questions to be explored include:
What is the idea of America?
What does America mean?
What are the duties we have that are implied by our rights?
What was the spiritual core at the founding of our country?
What is freedom?
Is democracy more than a model of government?
What is the common greatness that we are all a part of? |
