DESCRIPTION:Questions of Love and Death are among the deepest that humans can ask. Out 
 of thirty million species of life on Earth, Homo sapiens is singular in 
 its need for imaginative works in order to complete the movement from 
 infancy to maturity. When we reflect on the devastation taking place 
 throughout the Earth Community at this time, we need to ask the obvious 
 question: Why have our symbolic works failed so spectacularly?\n\nPart of 
 the answer can be seen in the shift in our universities from communities 
 focused on awakening the deep qualities of humanity to training camps for 
 attaining the particular cognitive skills required by our corporations. 
 Departments of Philosophy throughout America are emblematic of this 
 devolution. Instead of fostering the quest for truth, our academic 
 philosophers convinced themselves they should make their field "scientific" 
 by avoiding such, for them, embarrassing topics as "wisdom" or "the meaning 
 of life".  If philosophers are going to abandon this quest, the novelists, 
 filmmakers, and other artists will take up the challenge to provide the 
 works of the imagination necessary for human development. \n\nThis 
 conversation event is adapted from a new cross-departmental course also 
 titled Love, Death, and Annihilation in Contemporary Literature and Cinema 
 taught at CIIS by Carolyn Cooke and Brian Thomas 
 Swimme.\n\nPre-registration - $10\nMembers - $8\nAt the Door - $15\n
