Pioneer Works: Michael Pollan Book Launch
We'll be hand-in-hand with Nonhuman Teachers to help bring nonhuman conciousness to Pioneer Works for the official launch of Michael Pollan’s A World Appears—a panoptic exploration of consciousness from the #1 New York Times bestselling author of How to Change Your Mind.
What is consciousness, who has it, and why? The fact that we have subjective experience of the world remains one of nature’s greatest mysteries. How is it that our mental operations are accompanied by feelings, thoughts, and a sense of self? What would a scientific investigation of our inner life look like, when we have as little distance and perspective on it as fish do of the sea? In A World Appears, Michael Pollan traces the unmapped continent that is consciousness, bringing radically different perspectives—scientific, philosophical, literary, spiritual and psychedelic—to see what each can teach us about this central fact of life.
