On the Art of Online Conversation

American public discourse has become harsh and unhealthy. This is especially true of political discourse. Unfortunately, many have "cursed the darkness" as though it would serve as an antidote to the problem. John Mark Reynolds, public speaker and director of the Torrey Honors Institute, will address some of the problems of internet discourse, what Godbloggers can do to raise the level of conversation on the internet, and we all can move productively forward in conversation and debate. John Mark Reynolds is the founder and director of the Torrey
Honors Institute, and Associate Professor of Philosophy, at Biola
University. Dr. Reynolds lectures frequently on ancient philosophy,
philosophy of science, home-schooling and cultural trends. He regularly
appears on radio talk shows, including the Hugh Hewitt Show, and actively
blogs at www.ScriptoriumDaily.com on cultural issues, politics, education,
and philosophy.
