Desperate Reminiscence
During an open house for the philosophy department last semester, a young man raised his hand and asked, “Are classes lecture based, or more of a Symposium style?”
I replied, “[chuckle] it’s more of a Symposium, I guess”.
The “I guess” was there to qualify our Symposium as one in the colloquial sense, or as anyone with a healthy sense of self might say, a group discussion.
But did the young man possibly, actually mean, ‘did we sit around drinking, exploring the penis/vagina relationship in terms of yin/yang interdependence and engaging in homoerotic flirtation?’ And to that I’d have to add, “What other kind of discussion is there?”
