Philosophy Cafe: The Ancient Quarrel Between Art and Philosophy Rebooted

Event Type: Ideas Space - Philosophy Café
Date: 14/06/2019
Start Time: 6:00 PM
End Time: 7:00 PM
Description:
 Description:
This talk is about the images we live by. If we internalise attitudes, even goals and intentions, from the images that please us (including moving images), and do so inadvertently, are we allowing ourselves to live what the ancients might have called, the unexamined life? For the ancients it was the difference between being swayed by rhetoric as opposed to evidence and reason. For us it is whether we allow too much influence over our minds by film and streaming executives.
