The Coping Series with Guest Dr. Luc Bovens: Self-Management and Counsel

Come join Triangle Heterodox for a unique opportunity: a private facilitated discussion with UNC Professor Luc Bovens on the topics of "Self-Management and Counsel", taken from the final chapters of his book: Coping: A Philosophical Guide.

Dr. Bovens had generously offered to facilitate three conversations with us on his book, going through the book two topics/chapters at at time. This book is open access and can be found free here. This will be the final conversation in the series.

Although the focus of this club has been exploring the context of our current political and social realities, these are informed by the everyday, humanist personal anxieties about life that every generation has struggled with. This event is part of a series where we discuss questions like these from a broader, humanist lens, working our way through Professor Bovens' book Coping: A Philosophical Guide.

Luc Bovens is a Professor of Philosophy at UNC whose work has focused on everything from morality, epistemology, and rationality, to choice architecture and the biblical connections of socialist slogans.

This book was written to be accessible to a wide audience and helpfully has pre-made discussion questions, suggestions for works of art and media to consider when thinking about these topics, etc. Since Dr. Bovens is generously volunteering his time, please do come having read the relevant sections of the book. Dr. Bovens will be the facilitator for these discussions. Location is subject to change.
