Dougald Hine:
" ... the garden of low studies. It reminds me of a passage from ‘The Cultivation of Conspiracy’, a talk that Ivan Illich gave in Bremen in 1996, where he looked back on the ‘thinkeries’ he had created over the decades with his friends:
- "Learned and leisurely hospitality is the only antidote to the stance of deadly cleverness that is acquired in the professional pursuit of objectively secured knowledge. I remain certain that the quest for truth cannot thrive outside the nourishment of mutual trust flowering into a commitment to friendship. Therefore I have tried to identify the climate that fosters and “conditioned” air that hinders the growth of friendship."
It will be eighteen years this year since I first fell into the fellowship of the friends of Ivan Illich at a gathering in Cuernavaca, Mexico."
