About the event

Attention is First Philosophy, a Book Event with Adam Robbert
Adam explores the lives and insights of saints, mystics, monastics, and philosophers who devoted themselves to cultivating attention.

About this Event

In this event, Adam will share insights from his new book Practice in Still Life: Fragments, Essays, and Lectures. A study of saints, mystics, monastics, and philosophers, the book explores how philosophical and contemplative practices transform our perception and understanding of reality, especially in terms of how philosophy can help us refine and cultivate our capacity for attention.


Copies of Practice in Still Life: Fragments, Essays, and Lectures will be available onsite for purchase. 


This event is in-person and livestreamed


Adam Eric Robbert, PhD(c), is a philosopher by training, and a writer, editor, and researcher by vocation.

His focus is on the relationship between practice and perception in the fields of philosophy, religion, and contemplation. 

He currently runs an event series, The Theōros Lectures, based in the SF–Bay Area and centered on the role of contemplation in the humanities in the 21st century. Learn more about Adam's work on his webpage:
