Antonio Damasio & David Chalmers with Marcelo Gleiser: The Mystery of Consciousness

Oct 6, 2016

A neuroscientist, a philosopher and a physicist convene to discuss one of the biggest and most significant questions of all time: human consciousness, what we know and don’t know about it, and whether science will ever be able to understand what makes you, you.

This event is the first in a series of public dialogues on fundamental issues in science and humanities, co-produced with the Institute for Cross-Disciplinary Engagement at Dartmouth, and underwritten by the John Templeton Foundation.
