When Manhattan's Elite Gather to Ask Life's Biggest Questions

What if New York's most exclusive clubs became venues not for networking or deal-making, but for wrestling with the questions that have haunted humanity since Socrates walked the streets of Athens? For over a decade, this unlikely vision has become reality through Socrates in the City, where Hollywood celebrities, political commentators, and Wall Street executives gather to explore faith, reason, and meaning. The gatherings prove that even in our cynical age, people hunger for more than small talk and status updates. They want to know: Is there a God? Why do we suffer? What makes life worth living? These conversations, now captured in book form, offer something rare-intellectual rigor without pretension, profound questions without pat answers. In a world that increasingly treats existence as accidental and meaning as manufactured, these dialogues remind us that the deepest questions still demand our attention, and that truth, beauty, and goodness still draw crowds in the city that never sleeps.
