๐Ÿ“š Lecture: โ€œEmotion vs Reason: A Guide to Lifeโ€

๐ŸŽค Speaker: Prof. Dhananjay Jagannathan


Join us for an enlightening evening with Prof. Dhananjay Jagannathan as we delve into the intricate relationship between emotion and reason in decision-making. How should we navigate choices that impact our lives? Can our emotions be invaluable sources of insight rather than merely distractions from rationality?


In this thought-provoking lecture, Prof. Jagannathan will examine how ancient Greek philosophers, from Plato to the Stoics, offered insights into these enduring questions. He will also discuss how contemporary moral and political philosophers are reviving this critical debate. With a focus on philosophy as more than just theoretical inquiry, he will illustrate how it can serve as a practical guide to achieving psychological well-being and making informed decisions.


Prof. Dhananjay Jagannathan is a professor of philosophy at Columbia University. His first book, Aristotle's Practical Epistemology, was published by Oxford University Press, and his upcoming book, Culture as Conversation, will be published by Penguin later this year.


Donโ€™t miss this opportunity to gain valuable insights into navigating lifeโ€™s complexities with the esteemed Prof. Dhananjay Jagannathan!
