The '''Nordan Symposia''' is inspired by the capacity demonstrated by persons in every [[time]] and place when they host the [[wonder]] leading them to inquire more deeply into the [[nature]] of being [[human]]. While such questions, along with their ensuing [[dialogues]], may become enshrined in the celebrated literature of any civilization, acting then as inspiration to further inquiry, too often these can be found serving the illusions of [[power]] wearing '[[authoritative]]' answers more than a genuine [[authority]] showing the need for deeper inquiry. These foreclosures upon what remains forever an uncertain but intriguing process of discovery do not detract from the learning that exhausts the boundaries of [[space]]. | The '''Nordan Symposia''' is inspired by the capacity demonstrated by persons in every [[time]] and place when they host the [[wonder]] leading them to inquire more deeply into the [[nature]] of being [[human]].
