But we live in a world that wants answers.Questions are engines of learning, catalysts for connection, and drivers of change. They direct our attention and make us feel closer to loved ones and strangers alike. In fact, we are the only species that truly asks questions of one another.But school trains us to answer, not ask. Workplaces reinforce that, and technology feeds us solutions before we’ve described the problem. The result is that we live in an answer-rich, question-poor world. Yet, from doctors’ surgeries to courtrooms to dating, the ability to ask questions determines our experiences. In a world obsessed by answers, asking better questions is powerful.Q takes us on a transformative journey into the art and science of questioning and will shift your perspective on the world. In a captivating narrative from the death of Socrates to the age of AI, Lani Watson draws on research in psychology, philosophy and neuroscience to show how questions play a vital role in our individual lives and in our shared human story.Q will make you think about the questions you ask and the ones you don’t. It is a life-enhancing invitation to harness the hidden power of our most underappreciated human skill.Lani WatsonLani Watson is fascinated by questions. She is a philosopher and honorary fellow at the University of Edinburgh, and formerly a research fellow at the University of Oxford.She has spent nearly two decades studying the art and science of questioning – working in schools and courtrooms, hospitals and press rooms, and in the heart of Silicon Valley. Across all her research, she has drawn one conclusion: questions are powerful. And if we learn to use them, we can harness their power for good. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/oxford/philosophy-in-the-bookshop-with-lani-watson/100001993908393680 - **Event Categories**: art, science-fair - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 - **Event Highlights**: - Duration: 1 hour - Location: Blackwell's Bookshop - Languages: English ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 0, currency: GBP ## Event venue details - **city**: Oxford - **state**: EN - **country**: United Kingdom - **location**: Blackwell's Bookshop - **lat**: 51.7546524 - **long**: -1.2555315 - **full address**: Blackwell's Bookshop, 48-51 Broad Street, Oxford, United Kingdom ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: PHILOSOPHY IN THE BOOKSHOP with Lani Watson - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events8/banners/487deeb8a79c0884d008f8a6cab733379ce491a66625469ab5540bcaf2125345-rimg-w1200-h675-dcbaaea6-gmir.jpg?v=1784990868 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is PHILOSOPHY IN THE BOOKSHOP with Lani Watson being held? - **A:** PHILOSOPHY IN THE BOOKSHOP with Lani Watson takes place on Sat, 26 Sep, 2026 at 11:00 am to Sat, 26 Sep, 2026 at 12:00 pm at Blackwell's Bookshop, 48-51 Broad Street, Oxford, United Kingdom. - **Q**: Who is organizing PHILOSOPHY IN THE BOOKSHOP with Lani Watson? - **A:** PHILOSOPHY IN THE BOOKSHOP with Lani Watson is organized by Blackwell's, Broad Street Oxford. - **Q**: What has been the experience of attendees at Blackwell's, Broad Street Oxford's events? - **A:** Attendees have given Blackwell's, Broad Street Oxford a rating of 2/5 based on reviews from early attendees on AllEvents.
