Insight and the Great Unconscious
About this Event
Insight and the Great Unconscious: Philosophy Salon
Why do we love insight? Is it the spark it brings, the sense of discovery and creativity, or the excitement of the journey ahead? Insight, in contrast to intuition, is well-studied in contemporary neuroscience and psychology. But do we really understand insight? How is it that we suddenly get a sense of illumination, and why is it so difficult to force insight? In this Philosophy Salon, we will puzzle over these issues, and see if we can come up with some insights about insight!
Meeting Information
Doors open at 18:45 and close at 19:10. Please be on time! We won't be able to accommodate attendees arriving after 19:10.
Philosophy Salons
The Philosophy Salons are gatherings of curious people to explore big ideas with an open mind. The Philosophy Salons are organized by Anya Farennikova, a philosopher of mind based in Amsterdam. We dive deep into beliefs and ideas, dive out, and have fun along the way!
