Myself and Others. Are We More Alive When We are Alone?
Description
We often think being alone is something to fear. Yet it has been an integral component in the lives of many of our greatest thinkers. Are we more real when we are alone and perhaps also more alive? Or was Heidegger right in seeing Being with Others as an essential element of being human? The Panel Historian and broadcaster Kate Williams, philosopher and author of On Being With Others Simon Glendinning and the world record holder explorer Ed Stafford contemplate solitude. In association with The Forum for European Philosophy.
