Philosopher Alva Noë delves into the intricate relationship between life, art, and philosophy in his captivating exploration, The Entanglement: How Art and Philosophy Make Us What We Are. By shedding light on the profound interconnectedness of these domains, Noë reveals that we have greatly underestimated the significance of this entangled reality in understanding human nature. Life serves as the foundation from which art draws its raw materials, but it is through art that life is transformed, offering us the resources to live in a different way. Indeed, the aesthetic permeates every aspect of our lives, reflecting the true essence of human nature. Noë boldly asserts that human nature cannot be strictly defined by biology, cognitive science, or artificial intelligence alone. Just as we cannot fix the meaning of an artwork, we cannot pin ourselves down to a single interpretation. However, Noë contends that art and philosophy provide the means to liberate ourselves from convention, habit, technology, culture, and even biology, enabling us to embrace a newfound freedom. Through captivating examples of entanglement, such as artworks, perception, writing, speech, choreography, and dance, Noë challenges the notion that art is a mere curiosity and philosophy is outdated in the face of science. The Entanglement offers a fresh perspective on human nature, highlighting the limitations of natural science and emphasizing the essential role of art and philosophy in our quest for self-understanding. Join writer and philosopher Alva Noë as he engages in a thought-provoking conversation with Matthew B. Crawford, a senior fellow at the University of Virginia's Institute for Advanced Studies in Culture. The event will take place at Clio's in Oakland, located at 353 Grand Avenue, Oakland, CA 94610, on October 26, 2023. Admission is free, and copies of both authors' books will be available for purchase.
