Great Conversations with Professor Skillings: "The Emptiness of Species: A Buddhist Philosophy of Biology"
Friday, Apr. 1, 2022, 3pm
Curry 225 & Virtual
The dominant view in biology and philosophy of biology is that species do not have essences. A view of the world which holds that entities have essences – like the ones found in much of Western philosophy – contrasts sharply with views that are found in the equally rich traditions of Buddhist philosophy. There we find it denied that the furniture of the world includes anything that might be thought of as an essence.

This talk presents an alternative model for the metaphysics of biological individuals inspired by Buddhist philosophy.

The event will be held in Curry 225 with refreshments afterwards in the Curry Courtyard.
