We need to dialogue about wisdom--depth of knowledge, or learning.



I have tried in the past to start a dialogue in several forums, not on this forum however, and found no one interested. The following was my OP:

Talking Circles

I am posting this on this forum but request that this OP is also posted on the Social Sciences forum so that we can get as wide an audience as possible.

I suspect that, like me, many members find only frustration when trying to engage in a serious discourse on the Internet. I wish to solicit volunteers who will join with me in an effort to learn-by-doing. The domain of knowledge that I would like to learn about is the matter of dialogical reasoning as a means for solving some of societies many problems.

Talking Circles is a technique used in colleges to teach dialogical thinking. This technique has evidently proved effective when decisions are required about issues wherein there is no right or wrong answer; such matters as social and moral concerns can be discussed within a non-judgmental climate.

A particular issue is defined in a short statement and every entry is directed only to that statement and no comment is directed at other comments. The group should be small, perhaps seven members or less.

This whole matter is described here:
