                              Continuing the Conversation Symposium 
                                zu Ehren von Ivan Illich, 
                                Pennsylvania State Universität 
                                (USA), 12-14 November, 
                                2004 This 
                                symposium honors the 
                                presence of Ivan Illich 
                                (1926-2002) at Pennsylvania 
                                State University. Illich 
                                was an extravagant thinker 
                                whose searing criticisms 
                                of modern certainties 
                                were rooted in the soil 
                                of friendship. Illich 
                                was a restless scholar 
                                whose pursuit of the 
                                historical origins of 
                                the modern condition 
                                led him to continually 
                                question, revise and 
                                deepen many of his previous 
                                ideas and formulations. For 
                                over a decade (1986-1998), 
                                Illich thus prodded 
                                and provoked his auditors 
                                at Penn State to grapple 
                                with his incessant, 
                                wide-ranging, and disciplined 
                                studies aimed at shaking 
                                up the modern mind-set. 
                                The focus of this symposium 
                                two years after Ivan 
                                Illich's death is to 
                                explore his ideas and 
                                arguments. In trying 
                                to think after Illich 
                                we hope to pursue some 
                                of the many conversations 
                                he began by emulating 
                                his extravagance and 
                                self-criticism.
