A Nautilus Salon: Being Human, with Stuart Firestein and Joseph LeDoux

In a salon conversation at the crossroads of science and philosophy, Stuart Firestein of Columbia University and Joseph LeDoux of NYU delve into what it is to be human, exploring the nature, limits, and mysteries of consciousness.With Firestein’s keen sense of curiosity as a neuroscientist and LeDoux’s deep theoretical insights, they explore our different realms of existence, each of which reflects layers of evolutionary adaptation in the brain over the course of mammalian evolution. The event, blending lively debate with accessible storytelling, offers fresh perspectives on the human mind.
