DIALOG

society, culture, philosophy, religion, spirituality · EN

DIALOG comes from two words Dia (διά) means through, across, between. Logos (λόγος) means word, speech, reason, account, discourse. The compound dialogos means a conversation or exchange of words passing through or between parties. Earliest attested uses in Greek refer to the conversational sections of philosophical and dramatic works, as opposed to monologue or narrative.In a world of sensationalism and hot takes, the project of DIALOG is to seek the Aristotelian mean. What is reasonable, what makes the most sense, what is best? To create a new golden age, we have to decide what we want and where we want to go—or at least decide on the best general direction. This is not weak compromise or safe centrism. The mean we are seeking is the difficult, active balance between excess and deficiency that produces excellence, strength, and enduring order. This is the hard middle path that serious men have always sought when they intend to build rather than merely complain or entertain.Jack Don
