"Knowledge alone is not enough. It must be leavened with magnanimity before it becomes wisdom.”
-- Adlai Stevenson Welcome to Socrates’ Forum, the core of PP+A, where you have the opportunity to share your thoughts and artistic creations in response to comments and questions raised every week about a wide range of topics related to psychiatry, philosophy and the arts.

Psychiatry
Always on My Mind
Can we ever know everything there is to be known about the mind? Through the Socrates' Forum (ppplusa.ning.com ) social networking site where the PP+A community exists in cyberspace, you can begin adventures that take you into the complexities of the mind, in wellness and illness, not only by contributing your own knowledge and insights, but also by considering others’ perspectives, by asking and replying to questions and comments.
| Philosophy
What’s It All About?
Perhaps you’re someone who likes to delve into philosophic aspects of a topic. How we view the world, where we stand as individuals in relationship to the events and thoughts we and the people of our time generate is a foundation from which we create. At Socrates' Forum (ppplusa.ning.com ), explore the meaning of life, the meaning of our lives. Post text, video, and audio replies to the questions raised by Socrates or even more questions if that’s what you’re inspired to do.
| The Arts
It Was Just My Imagination…Running Away With Me!
What is the place of the arts in our existence? Is artistic expression required for survival, for living fulfilled lives, or an optional resource that has little to do with day-to-day living? What is the impact of stifling creative expression in the visual arts, music, dance? How do the arts impact our philosophical views, the state of our mind?
Artistic exploration of Socrates’ topics can take the form of sharing our art with site visitors, expressing the impact of the arts on us whether we are creating it, or enjoying (or not enjoying) what others have created. Let your imagination run wild here! |
