What's So Special About Humans? with Peter Godfrey-Smith
Advertisement
Human beings share the planet with many different organisms with vastly diverse ways of life. We like to think we're a higher form of intelligence. But, are we really that unique? How different are we as a species when it comes to language, thought, and culture? Where does our specifically human form of consciousness come from? And if other animals are so similar to us, should we stop eating them?
Join our live audience at Kepler's Books & Magazines in Menlo Park, CA as the Philosophers record a brand-new episode with Peter Godfrey-Smith from the University of Sydney, author of "Living On Earth: Forests, Corals, Consciousness, and the Making of the World."
In addition to thought-provoking conversation and audience questions, the show will feature multimedia reporting from Roving Philosophical Reporter Sarah Lai Stirland and satirical commentary from Ian Shoales the Sixty-Second Philosopher.
