Join the authors of “The Fractal Self: Science, Philosophy, and the Evolution of Human Cooperation” for a lively book reading and discussion from 3-5 p.m. Wednesday at Volcano Art Center Ni‘aulani Campus in Volcano Village.
In “The Fractal Self,” John Culliney and David Jones uncover surprising intersections between science and philosophy. Connecting evidence from evolutionary science with early insights of Daoist and Buddhist thinkers, they maintain that sagely behavior, envisioned in these ancient traditions, represents a pinnacle of human achievement emerging out of our evolutionary heritage.
Culliney, a biologist educated at Yale and Duke universities, is professor emeritus of biology at Hawaii Pacific University. Jones is professor of philosophy at Kennesaw State University, Atlanta.
Copies of the book will be available for purchase. This event is free, although a $5 donation is greatly appreciated.
