Literary notes about Discussed (AI summary)

In these varied sources, “discussed” is consistently used to indicate a shared consideration or debate over a specific topic, whether mundane or profound. For instance, in Jules Verne’s work ([1], [2]) it refers to prior conversations about plans and refinements, while Plato employs “discussed” to signal a reflective reexamination of an earlier exchange ([3]). Jerome’s travelers plan their camping excursions by talking them over ([4]), and Dickens shows how even the simplest act—finishing a meal—can be “fully discussed” ([5]). Equally, Gibbon and Carroll use “discussed” to frame scholarly or logical investigation ([6], [7]), and Darwin applies it to indicate scientific examination ([8], [9]). Taken together, these authors demonstrate that “discussed” underscores dialogue—whether casual, academic, or strategic—serving to convey a thorough and collaborative process of inquiry.
