EGENIS Book Launch: John Dupre's "Everyone Flows: A Process Philosophy of Human Life" Prof Tim Lewens (University of Cambridge)
Egenis book launch
This event marks the publication of the above book by Oxford University Press. The book is based on the Gifford Lectures that John delivered in Edinburgh in 2023. The first half of the book explains and defends a processual view of nature, with special reference to the concepts of an organism and a lineage, and to the importance of symbiosis. The second half applies these ideas to range of questions about human life, including personal identity, pregnancy, the possibility of indefinite life extension, human nature, human kinds including those based on sex and gender and race, agency, and free will.
