marietta mccartyOn The Next Virginia Insight, Monday at 3 p.m.: When Marietta McCarty wrote her most recent book, she envisioned people using it as a guide for dinnertime conversation in people’s homes.

But enthusiastic fans are taking the book’s suggestions much further.

Could getting together, most anywhere, to discuss IDEAS be the next big thing?

We consider the possibilities as the author of The Philosopher’s Table makes a return visit to our studios. Online at http://wmra.org.

Guest: Marietta McCarty, M.Phil. – Education Consultant.  Former Professor of Philosophy at Piedmont Virginia Community College.  Author of several books on education and philosophy,  including Little Big Minds: Sharing Philosophy with Kids(Tarcher, 2006)  and  The Philosopher’s Table: How to Start Your Philosophy Dinner Club—Monthly Conversation, Music, and Recipes (Tarcher/Penguin, 2013).
