Colloquies

"Colloquies" refers to a series of conversations or dialogues that explore philosophical, moral, and spiritual topics. Created in the 16th century by the Italian humanist Erasmus, these texts simulate discussions among imaginary characters, each representing different viewpoints. The purpose is to encourage critical thinking and moral reflection through engaging exchanges. Think of it as a written debate designed to provoke thought, clarify ideas, and promote understanding of complex issues in a conversational, accessible format.
