In the sixth century BCE, Greek philosophers asked what reality fundamentally is-and gave answers that excluded the questioner from the answer. This created a wound: the split between static being and flowing becoming, between the observer and the observed, between consciousness and the world it inhabits.
Dialogues traces this fracture from its infliction to its attempted healing through dramatic conversations with some of the minds that shaped human history. The journey moves through six cities where civilizations met and transformed each other:
- Athens - Where the wound began.
- Alexandria - Where synthesis was first attempted.
- Baghdad - Where Greek logic met Quranic intimacy.
- Damascus - Where mysticism answered reason's failure.
- Cordoba - Where the libraries burned.
- Isfahan - Where healing became possible.
A work of philosophical fiction, these encounters bring to life figures from Heraclitus and Plato to Ibn Arabi and Maimonides. Each speaks in a voice appropriate to their thought. The conversations are fictional. The philosophical problems are real.
