The Great Conversation & Beyond+story
I have an interest in liberal education & would like to share it with like-minded people so I decided to use the Great Books as a base to carry the Great Conversation & beyond - meaning I'm thinking that we can carry the Great Conversation because the internet has made it possible. Also what this is for is like what the dictionary is for words, the encyclopedia is for facts and so this "wikidea" is for ideas not just any ideas but great ideas. So what is a great idea? If you don't know, then please get acquainted with The Great Books of the Western World before chiming in on the topics. First I will attempt to put all the qoutes in the Syntopicon that have been said throughout the western ages on 102 Great Ideas. This is a big task so that's why I chose a wiki app for anyone who is familiar with the Syntopicon may contribute as well. Second, once the qoutes have been established, this is where we come in and add our thoughts and also qoute from other books that contributes to the 102 Great Ideas but not limited to - meaning we could add more Great Ideas . The result is an organic & growing conversation on these Great Ideas & more if we deem reasonable. The agenda is to envision the Great Conversation becoming a World Conversation where western ideas coalesce with eastern ideas. Unifying and working out & creating, what I hope will happen, the Great Ideas of the World. Thus we may even create & canonize a Great Books of the World. Can you imagine the implications? There are many but I'll give one but in a question. Will you join me to carry on the legacy to save humanity?
