The '''Nordan Symposia''' is inspired by the capacity demonstrated by persons of every [[time]] and place when they welcome the unique [[wonder]] leading them to inquire more deeply into the nature of what it means to be [[human]]. While such questions, along with their ensuing [[dialogues]], may become enshrined in the celebrated literature of any civilization, to hopefully act as inspiration to further inquiry, too often these can be found serving as '[[authoritative]]' answers more than eloquent queries, closing the doors to what remains an [[open-ended]] process of discovery unfolding before one and all. | The '''Nordan Symposia''' is inspired by the capacity demonstrated by persons of every [[time]] and place when they welcome the unique [[wonder]] leading them to inquire more deeply into the nature of what it means to be [[human]].
