University Dialogic Discussion

The University Dialogic Discussion Group “Con el libro en la mano” is an interdisciplinary seminar where we share and discuss great classic works from different fields of study. By debating readings from multiple perspectives, the dialogic discussion offers a diversity of interpretations based on egalitarian dialogue.

People from all fields of study are welcome to take part in the discussion. The only requirement for participation is to have previously read the text and selected an idea, sentence or paragraph to share.

In the next discussion, we will comment on the fourth and last part of the book “Elogio de la imperfección”, by Rita-Levi Montalcini. The author, winner of the Nobel Prize in Medicine in 1986, was a prestigious Italian scientist who, together with Stanley Cohen, identified the protein that stimulates the growth of nerve fibres.

Rita-Levi advocated perfection in personal and academic life. This book is the result of the pleasure she took in both activities and shows us that imperfection is what is best suited to human nature.
