Why There Are No Living Things
Abstract:
What does it mean to say that organisms are processes, not things? And if humans, like all organisms, are processes, what are the upshots? In this talk, John Dupré will explain the process view of organisms and explore its implications for topics ranging from the nature of medicine to personal identity
The lecture is open to the public, admission is free.
