Anyone having an intense interest in the philosophical theme of the symposium ("symbolic sounds") is invited to join in the free on-line discussion at
http://pphilosophyofsound.ning.com, a new forum created by symposium co-organizer, Peter Rantasa. Discussions on sound, symbol, and meaning have already begun and will continue during and after the symposium. You can participate on line whether or not you are able to attend the symposium in Vienna.
