Philosophy Cafe
A friendly space for exploring diverse viewpoints, the Philosophy Café aims to facilitate genuine dialogue, mutual understanding, and self-reflection among the Salisbury community.
The Café is free and open to the public. It meets once a month during the school year, with a new question for every session. It is sponsored by the Philosophy Department and moderated by Philosophy Department faculty.
Questions from past meetings include:
- Can we really understand each other?
- What, if anything, separates a human from a machine?
- Do we need religion for spirituality?
- Does one’s worth depend on their contribution to society?
- Does true love exist? Would the world be better without suffering?
- Is nature inherently valuable?
- What makes something authentic?
- Can we reinvent ourselves?
Please consider a gift to the Philosophy Cafe today!

To commemorate the Inauguration of SU President Carolyn Ringer Lepre, the Lepre family has established these awards in honor of Dr. Lepre’s mother, Jaquelyn H. Ringer, and Mr. Todd Lepre’s mother, Nancy A. Hamner, who both were staunch supporters of education during their lives and believed that everyone deserved an opportunity to learn.
