What is The Great Conversation?

Picture
Well for one thing it is the title of a book by Robert M. Hutchins. The book was published in 1952 by Encyclopedia Britannica as Volume One in the Great Books of the Western World series.


The complete title is: The Great Conversation: The Substance of a Liberal education.
Another definition: The Great Conversation is the name given to the exchange of ideas that has been  going on for thousands of years now. The ideas have to do with God, our world,  relationships, truth, knowledge, existence, hope, dispair, purpose - in short,  who we are and why we live.

There may be better definitions of what The Great Conversation means to us today, we will have to keep looking.
