“I’ve been participating in conversational reading seminars for nearly 30 years, I’ve been leading seminars in different contexts for about the past 20. Even so, there is a great benefit to Symposium Great Books Institute. Often seminars become a place where different people voice their queries and opinions, such that the conversation becomes disjointed, a kind of usually polite cacophony. At Symposium on Zoom generally seminars find their own fruitful pathways together, and everyone contributes to a common, real, sustained conversation. I attribute this to a combination of three factors: the inexhaustible richness and profundity of our readings, the skills of our facilitators, and the calibre of our participants.”
