We’re excited that you’ve joined the conversation! At HMU, we want to continue the great authors’ conversations in a contemporary context, and this blog will help us do that. We look back to Aristotle and the early philosophers who used reason and discourse to gain wisdom and now we endeavor to do the same every day.

Conversation: an oral exchange of sentiments, observations, opinions, or ideas.
Discussion: consideration of a question in an open and usually informal debate; or a formal treatment of a topic in speech or writing.
When does conversation become a discussion? According to Merriam-Webster, conversation flows freely between observations, opinions and topic.
