Athens’ contributions to the development of the west would be vastly incomplete without its invention of philosophy. Today, Rabbi Rocklin will walk us through the following questions:

2. Is there any truth to the notion that philosophy is necessarily sacrilegious
3. What made Socrates different than the philosophers who came before him such that Socrates is considered the father of philosophy?
