Pythagorean Disputations

Any thinking performs in the forms imposed by the language. Our perception and comprehension accomplishes within the limits of understanding the world - interpreted and named. Speech is an instrument of cognition which retains  this understanding for us. Subconsciously the speech often contains a particular interpretation of existence. The language of the scientific theory becomes an organ by which we perceive the world veritably - "Only the theory determines what’s the object of the measurement" (Einstein). If the role of the language is understood in this way, then the role of the conversation appears essential on a way of attaining the truth. "The truth conceives between two" (Nietzsche). We want such talks, by which the truth happens. "Significant, existence related truth arises only in communication" (Jaspers). The truth is happening and is created between conversing people. In the conversation, thought is not communicated as a finished creation. It is rather a leaven, the drive pulse stimulating the stream of thoughts, going beyond the words and thoughts of the first interlocutor, in a very creative way. We want these conversations. The Pythagorean Disputations are such conversations.
