OK, YES, Gordon Harper gave a PDF copy to Terry Bergdahl who shared the copy with me for the Archives, though we have no record of a prior electronic copy.  So Thanks Terry.  Thanks everyone for the input.  Terry also gave to Jo Nelson the full citation he used for his ICA Handbook which Terry published as an ICA document to be shared to explain who we are and what we do and did.

The title to the paper was as you say:

THE PEOPLE OF THE QUESTION

The precise quote was:

"what it means to be man"

An earlier remark goes:

... "what it means to be "man" instead of animal"

According to Martin Gilbraith, "ICA’s 1986 global conference in Spain was addressed by (from memory) Joep van Arendonk of UNFPA, and he famously (in ICA circles anyway) described ICA as “the People of the Question, because you have the courage to say ‘we don’t know”…"

Time to call in the Archives team. The quote is probably in the files!

Joep Van Arendonk – UNFPA. I remember him speaking at Kemper (maybe – or perhaps we just studied a paper of his?)

Subject: [Dialogue] van Arendonk quote

 

Hi, all,

 

The good news is that we are in the last week (I hope) of editing Getting to the Bottom of ToP before we send it to the publisher. The intention is to have it published by October 20, when ICA Canada has its annual gala.  

 

I have found one place in the book where Wayne quotes:

"Dr. van Arandonk’s question, “What is it to be human?" 

 

Do any of you have any more information on this?  I remember the question, but I don’t even remember Dr. van Arendonk’s first name, never mind a time or a place when he asked it.  

 

Can anybody help?  Whatever you can help with in the next few days would be invaluable.

 

Take care,

Jo
