  PhD Christopher Phillips

  Christopher Phillips has devoted his life to carrying the torch of Socrates and his quest to "Know Thyself." Yet upon the death of his beloved father and mentor, the originator of the burgeoning global Socrates Café movement had little choice but to confront the inescapable truth: that there are some things we cannot know for sure. This moving, insightful and ultimately hopeful and helpful blend of memoir and philosophical exploration begins in Phillips' native stomping grounds of the island of Nisyros, Greece and unfurls through space and time as the author explores the connections between his immediate circumstances and the eternal wisdom of popular philosophers. 
   
   
   
  In this personal and probing book, the acclaimed 'philosopher for the people' shares lessons gleaned from his intimate and often unexpected encounters with uncommonly perceptive human beings both living and long deceased. Along the way, he charts a pathway for sculpting what Shakespeare describes as a "soul of goodness," which meshes with Plato's paradigm-shattering conception of the "healthiness of soul." For those struggling to overcome the hopelessness that can result from grievous loss, setback, or betrayal, the author spotlights how to cultivate a 'Socratic spirit' that leads to renewed love, forbearance, and hope at the other end of the tunnel.

  In this rare and mystical work, Manly P. Hall unveils the hidden thread of spiritual brotherhood that guides the evolution of humanity from behind the veil. The Brothers of the Shining Robe refers to the invisible order of Initiates, Sages, and Adepts who, throughout the ages, have silently labored for the advancement of truth, beauty, and enlightenment on Earth. 
  Through poetic symbolism and philosophical insight, Hall traces the legacy of these hidden guardians—from ancient Egypt and Greece to the esoteric schools of the East and the secret societies of the modern West. He explores their doctrines, their sacred duty to the soul of the world, and their constant battle against ignorance and materialism. 
  More than a history, this book is a spiritual call to remembrance: that there are still those who wear the shining robe—not of cloth, but of light—and who work for the regeneration of the human spirit. Their presence is known not by words, but by their silent wisdom and unwavering service.
