The texts considered classics in the Humanities speak to our time too—if we might borrow Homer’s appeal to the Muse—if we but have the time and space conserved for the good company with whom we read, discuss, and write about these texts. Furthermore, there is no conceivable time nor place now nor in future for which the Humanities will not help create the horizon into which human freedom and responsibility will move. Insofar as the Humanities need both time and space for reading, discussion, and writing, this symposium is an attempt to provide a special venue for such.

The event was organized by:

• Institute Nova Revija for the Humanities;
• Humanities Institute at Arizona State University;
• Barrett, the Honors College at Arizona State University.

At the event, the following researchers of the Institute Nova Revija for the Humanities presented scientific contributions: Assoc. Prof. Dr. Manca Erzetič, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Bernard Nežmah, and Dr. Andrej Božič.
