TWELVE The Call of Our Times:Creating a Culture of Dialogue

Conversation is at the heart of the new inquiry. It is perhaps the core human capacity for dealing with the tremendous challenges we face.

The culture of conversation is a different culture, one that could make a difference in the future of our world.
