Food For Thought: Am I Just My Brain? The Neuroscience and Philosophy of Altered States

This series explores how contemporary neuroscience intersects with enduring philosophical and existential questions: What is a mind? What is consciousness? Are we free? What makes us human? Drawing on brain science, philosophy, and real world experience, we examine what neuroscience can and can’t tell us about meaning, reason, language, morality, and the self. Dates: Wednesdays, 5:45 pm to 7:00 pm. Dinner and readings will be provided.
