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, binding shut the doors to what remains an [[open-ended]] process of discovery led from within each person. | The '''Nordan Symposia''' is inspired by the capacity demonstrated by persons of every [[time]] and place when they serve as host to the unique [[wonder]] that leads anyone to inquire more deeply into the nature of what it means to be [[human]].
