Steven Pinker in conversation with Jason Bridges
Steven Pinker, world-renowned cognitive scientist, Harvard professor, and one of Time’s “100 Most Influential People in the World Today,” for a fascinating exploration of human psychology. With UChicago philosopher Jason Bridges, Pinker unravels how we think about what others are thinking about what we're thinking — a cyclical process that creates "common knowledge" and profoundly shapes our social, political, and economic lives. Discover how this hidden force explains life's most puzzling phenomena: why financial bubbles burst overnight, how revolutions emerge from nowhere, what drives diplomatic theater, and why complete honesty would make life unbearable.
This event is presented in partnership with the Seminary Co-op Bookstore. VIP tickets will include premium reserved seating, a copy of When Everyone Knows That Everyone Knows..., and access to a post-event meet and greet with Steven Pinker. Limited space available.
