7. Authentic Conversation

“To be historically means that knowledge of oneself can never be complete.” (Gadamer, 1960/1990, p. 302).
“To conduct a conversation means to allow oneself to be conducted by the subject matter to which the partners in the dialogue are oriented. . . . What emerges in its truth is the logos, which is neither mine nor yours and hence so far transcends the interlocutors’ subjective opinions that even the person leading the conversation knows that he does not know” (Gadamer, 1960/1990, pp. 367-368).
“That meeting could have been an email” (Everyone everywhere)
