There, lurking between the country-fried steak and the chicken strips, you will find Truth, Beauty and Reason. The group meets at a Denny's restaurant to discuss philosophical issues. There, lurking between the country-fried steak and the chicken strips, you will find Truth, Beauty and Reason. Twice a month, this Denny's, at the southwest corner of LBJ Freeway and Midway Road, provides a refuge from the stream of mind pollution that inundates our lives. Here, the Dallas Philosopher's Forum meets to hear guest lecturers and earnestly discuss humanity, science, religion, ethics and other meaty topics.
Members often arrive early for a bite of dinner and some relaxed chat.
In fact, the Forum met at a local Wyatt's and then La Madeleine before moving to Denny's a few years ago. Well, maybe not. But philosophers have never been averse to mundane surroundings. Socrates, for one, frequented the markets and meeting places of ancient Athens to discourse on his beliefs. Denny's would have suited him perfectly.
