The Conversationalist is a site dedicated to high journalism: journalism that is rigorous, well-crafted, and focused on understanding and intellectual honesty.
​
We believe the promotion of fruitful engagements is not only important in life, but pleasurable, and hope to model our site around the idea of conversation: a playful yet serious, open-ended exchange whose foundation is one of mutual pleasure as opposed to utility or argument.

'Perhaps we may think of these components of a culture as voices, each the expression of a distinct and conditional understanding of the world and a distinct idiom of human self-understanding, and of the culture itself as these voices joined, as such voices could only be joined, in a conversation - an endless unrehearsed intellectual adventure in which, in imagination, we enter into a variety of modes of understanding the world and ourselves and are not disconcerted by the difference or dismayed by the inconclusiveness of it all.'
Michael Oakeshott
