About this Event
Morna Finnegan and Ingrid Lewis ask:
Is the opposite of war vitality? Thanatos - the death impulse - is consuming the earth through our species, generating ever more violent forms of attack and repression. But Thanatos' other face is Eros. Is the antidote for killing seeded at the heart of the urge to exterminate? What can egalitarian hunter-gatherers teach us about moral systems as bodies? Anthropologists have the capacity to reveal our species' ancient predisposition for embodied morality, our will to health: can we be heard?
Morna and Ingrid will speak
