IPR Announces Lecture Series for 2009-10: Narrative Meaning-Narrative Wisdom
What is the role of story or narrative in human understanding? What specific human cognitive or imaginative capacities are required for the construction and discernment of narrative patterns in our lives? This series of lectures will explore the importance of philosophical and religious narrative in human self-understanding, culminating with a conference in Spring 2010 on philosophical and intellectual life-story writing.
