Our Ethos

At NY Salon, we believe passionately in free speech and discussing ideas robustly. We agree with the quote generally attributed to Voltaire:

"I disapprove of what you say, but will defend to the death your right to say it." The spirit of the renaissance master, Leonardo da Vinci, perhaps should live on in our own attempt to navigate the contemporary landscape:

"He who loves practice without theory is like the sailor who boards ship without a rudder and compass and never knows where he may cast." The clash of ideas is at the heart of the NY Salon; the last word can go on this to Oscar Wilde, ever the wit...

"Arguments are to be avoided: they are always vulgar and often convincing."
