Converging Themes: Engineering, Ethics, and the Unconscious
Converging Themes: Engineering, Ethics, and the Unconscious: The modern world is fraught with ever-mounting great worries.
Two local authors will concurrently describe motivations for and key themes in their recent books. The books are founded in the domains of psychoanalysis, environmental engineering, environmentalism generally, and education. Miraculously, converging paths forward for solving problems in disparate fields are found. In the end, intellectual honesty, openness, and hope are our ethical paths to salvation.
The authors look forward to an engaged discussion with attendees.
