After Dinner Conversation believes humanity is
improved by ethics and morals grounded in philosophical truth. Philosophical
truth is discovered through intentional reflection and respectful debate. In
order to facilitate that process, we have created a growing series of short
stories across genres, a monthly magazine, and two podcasts. These accessible
examples of abstract ethical and philosophical ideas are intended to draw out
deeper discussions with friends, family, and students.
