First published in 1905, A Modern Symposium presents a record of a
discussion between men at the Seekers club- a now extinct, but then
famous, club for men prominent in politics or in the professions-
that used to meet fortnightly to listen to, and discuss papers on
varying subjects. The group included politicians, a professor, a
journalist and a poet, amongst others. At this particular meeting,
the participants start their discussion by discussing reasons for
going into politics in the first place, and why the key speakers
aligned themselves with particular political parties, which leads
on to a full and thought-provoking discussion of civilisation. "Has
been a source of inspiration to many thousands of readers... It is
almost an encyclopaedia of common sense." Everyman "One of the most
thought-provoking and, therefore, useful books of our time. No one
interested in the problems of life, as these are presented to us
day by day, can fail to be the wiser and better by a perusal of
Professor Lowes Dickinson's admirable statement of these problems
and the hints he gives on their solution." Scottish Educational
Journal "A brilliant little book, at once serious and gay, in which
various contrasted characters discuss our civilisation." E. M.
Forster in The Listener
