Philosopher's Series: Human Emergence and Our Place in the Natural World

Today’s talk by David Sprintzen, professor emeritus of philosophy at Long Island University, caps off our three-week Philosopher’s Series, offering food for thought from noted philosophers as well as brunch!

Our speaker, a leading scholar of Albert Camus, will present ideas from his new book, “Human Emergence and Our Place in the Natural World,” and explore humanity’s evolving role in the ecological and philosophical landscape.

Reservations are recommended for brunch. Please email Y3VydCB8IGV0aGljYWxmb2N1cyAhIG9yZw== to reserve your spot.
