SUMMARY:Witherspoon Forum: Transhumanism and Death (Session 3)
DESCRIPTION:TRANSHUMANISM AND DEATH\nLed by Dr. Charles Rubin\nThis event is a part of the Witherspoon Forum\, a program which provides a space for high school students who are serious about their studies to discuss foundational questions of human existence and contemporary cultural issues in dialogue with their peers and Witherspoon’s seminar leaders. To attend\, students should apply here. \nA longing for immortality is a widespread human trait\, but today’s transhumanists have transformed it into what they claim is a practical program for (at least) radical extension of the human lifespan. How would putting off death into an indefinite future reshape how we live and understand our lives? Would freedom from death be the greatest of liberations\, or would it compromise the possibility of human happiness?

SUMMARY:Enchantment and Fairy-Stories
DESCRIPTION:Enchantment and Fairy-Stories\nLed by R.J. Snell\nAmong some\, there is a mood and call for re-enchantment of world and imagination\, largely as a response to the loss of the sense of the sacred and radical immanentizing of our lives. This may or may not be a good idea: the classic 1947 Tolkien essay\, “On Fairy-Stories” has much to offer in reaching a reasonable judgment. \nReading prior to seminar is not required. Lunch is provided\, as are all reading materials. \nAll Princeton undergraduate or graduate students are warmly invited.
