Zeno's Coffeehouse from RonBarnette.Com (Since 1994) Zeno of Elea, a pre-Socratic philosopher, was born about 490 B.C. His style of argument was to assume, provisionally, the position of the opponent, and then to derive impossible conclusions from it, thus establishing the absurdity of the assumption. In the spirit of this Reductio Ad Absurdum dialectical approach to critical thinking, our Coffeehouse activities will tackle from time to time so-called 'common sense views,' analyzed critically. The mental gymnastics will be good exercise!...... (And thanks to our many worldwide patrons, I am shamelessly proud to share many awards and recognitions Zeno's has received!) NEW CHALLENGE: Maggie's Road Trip For a fun interactive treat, try your hand at Ann Dixon's Prisoner's Dilemma game! And always remember, "At Zeno's, Don't Ever Ask Anyone to Meet You Halfway" The results of our first Zeno's challenge are in. The results of our second Zeno's challenge are now in, involving choices of the mysterious boxes. Finally!! Wow! At last!
