Markus Gabriel, Brains. 24th April, Lit and Phil

Dear All,

 

An extra-mural event to which you’re warmly invited, by an exceptional philosopher, Markus Gabriel:

 

The 21st Century Brain

Markus Gabriel

 

24 April at 19:00–20:30

Literary and Philosophical Society of Newcastle upon Tyne

23 Westgate Road, Newcastle upon Tyne, NE1 1SE

 

Professor Markus Gabriel from the University of Bonn will offer a critical perspective on the rise of the brain sciences in shaping who we think we are. What are the consequences, both individual and social, of recoding ourselves at a neuronal level? Gabriel became Germany’s youngest-ever professor of philosophy at the age of 29. He already has over 20 books to his name and his most recent one is /I Am Not a Brain/.

 

Admission is £4 for this event or £10 for all three talks in the season. Free for students of unwaged. No advance tickets being sold. Just turn up on the night!
