LOVE’S WORK

A CONVERSATION WITH PROF. ALVA NOË

On the face of it, love and consciousness are wildly different things. But what if appearances mislead us? Indeed, what if it is precisely the conviction that consciousness is divorced from value, from sociality, and from striving for intimacy, that gets in the way of making sense of this phenomenon? In this informal presentation, Professor Noë takes this possibility seriously. Consciousness itself, he offers, is an affair of the heart. Consciousness, he proposes, like love, is bound up with the work of making relationships.

Members of the Berkeley Institute community are invited to attend this event. More information to be announced.

Location: Berkeley Institute (2134 Allston Way, 2nd floor)
