promoting wonder and the exploration of ideas

We value every thinker.

Based on the claim that Socrates makes in the Apology written by Plato, "the unexamined life is not worth living," Wisdom's Edge Foundation, Inc. seeks to give meaning and value to every life through deep exploration of philosophical texts by means of democratic discussion and dialogue, coupled with personal introspection. Because we are an outreach organization, we go to communities and bring philosophy-based classes to groups that otherwise would not have access to traditional university philosophy classes. We are funded through grants and generous donations. We do not charge any fees for our services. What we provide is a gift to communities.  

Every mind has value. 

​every life has infinite worth.
