Conference Update – Metaphysics and the Matter With Things: Thinking With Iain McGilchrist

Andrew Davis and I sat down with Iain McGilchrist to discuss our upcoming conference at CIIS in San Francisco, March 29-31. In-person tickets have already sold out, but online registration is still open. Learn more and register to attend the conference online at the Center for Process Studies webpage.

Among other topics, we discuss Iain’s entry into clinical neurology as a result of his interest in metaphysical issues like the mind-body problem, his decision to include a final chapter on the sacred, and the transdisciplinary aim of the conference, which includes contributions from a renowned cast of scholars and scientists including John Vervaeke, Richard Tarnas, Evan Thompson, Michael Levin, Ruth Kastner, Rev. Thandeka, Zak Stein, Timothy Eastman, Carolyn Cooke, and Alex Gomez-Marin.
