A Modern Symposium

by Goldsworthy Lowes Dickinson

""A Modern Symposium"" by G. Lowes Dickinson is a collection of essays that explores various philosophical and social issues of the early 20th century. The book is structured as a series of dialogues between a group of fictional characters who represent different perspectives on the topics being discussed. The characters engage in lively debates on subjects such as religion, politics, ethics, and the nature of reality. Through these dialogues, Dickinson offers his own insights and critiques of the prevailing ideas of his time. The book is a thought-provoking read that challenges readers to consider their own beliefs and values. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the intellectual and cultural history of the early 20th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

I hold this one in high regard as our author had poured a better shade on whatever was transcending in his mind and maybe ours too; thank you Mr. Dickinson.
