Speaker: Dr Robert Farrugia and Dr Niki Young
Date: Wednesday 4 December 2024
Time: 1730
Location: Gateway Building (GW) Hall E
This seminar will comprise two back-to-back talks discussing the relation between the philosophical notions of life and immanence. Robert Farrugia will begin by tackling the issue of immanence within the broader phenomenological tradition and then focus on Michel Henry's specific understanding of life as self-appearing and the possibility of an immanent community. Niki Young will then go on to speak of Alphonso Lingis' understanding of life with a special emphasis on the difference between mundane states and disruptive, passionate experiences.
