Summary "A Modern Symposium" by G. Lowes Dickinson is a work of political philosophy written in the early 20th century. The text presents a fictional dialogue among a diverse group of characters with opposing political views, who are gathered in a private setting to discuss their ideologies and beliefs regarding society and politics. This book likely delves into themes of democracy, political theory, and the nature of society, reflecting the intellectual currents of its time. The opening of the symposium introduces various speakers from political spheres such as Lord Cantilupe, Alfred Remenham, and Reuben Mendoza, each representing distinct ideologies like Conservatism, Liberalism, and Socialism. As they gather for coffee on a warm summer evening, Cantilupe is unexpectedly called upon to explain his political stance, leading to a confessional speech about his views on Toryism and society's structure. The narrative captures their lively exchanges, with Cantilupe expressing nostalgia for a past political order while foreshadowing the rising significance of new social forces. The discussions exhibit a rich tapestry of ideological debates that will unfold, showcasing the clash of perspectives in a society undergoing transformation.
