What is a good conversation? Can we have them with complete strangers?

If bland conversations and formulaic responses leave you unsatisfied, you are cordially invited to participate in an evening of dialogue; featuring a Conversation Menu by the philosopher and social historian Theodore Zeldin, we hope to answer the very question we started with:

Humans have a system and wide range of vocabulary to determine goodness in things like food, wine and tea — but what do we define as a good conversation? Join us in developing our own unique conversational fingerprint, at both the individual and communal level.

*Note: this particular session does not actually come with food but participants are welcome to bring their own food or have dinner before attending

我们周围都是人，每天都和人互动、社交。但是很多谈话留于表面、陈套，甚至夹带额外目的，我们未能接触到我们对面这个活生生的人。

如果你也有过这样的困惑，如果交流对你而言不仅仅是消磨时间，那欢迎你参加本次的《傾·听而膳》Conversation Dinner，借助哲学家Theodore Zeldin设计的交流 “菜单” ，和素未谋面的朋友，进行一场鲜活的对话。回到最初的疑问：好的聊天到底有哪些元素？用于品鉴食物、茶酒、书画的审美体系和丰富的词汇，运用在聊天上又能给我们什么样的启发？

*注：本次活动不提供餐食，朋友们可以自行带食物零食，或在出席前先行用餐
