SUMMARY:(Hybrid) The Future of Reality with David Chalmers
DESCRIPTION:Join Evenings with an Author (in-person and online*) to discuss \nReality+\nwith philosopher David Chalmers  \nClick here to RSVP\nIs virtual reality separate from reality? Are our experiences in virtual reality real? If everything is a simulation\, does that mean that nothing is real? The answer to these questions\, proposes philosopher David Chalmers in his new book Reality+\, lies in expanding our definition of what is real. Using the approach of “technophilosophy\,” which employs new technology to answer questions in philosophy and vice versa\, Chalmers offers a thorough and captivating argument for the reality of virtual worlds.  \nTaking up problems in the history of philosophy ranging from Plato’s cave to Descartes’ evil demon\, Chalmers inserts virtual reality and the metaverse into a philosophical debate. His argument is that simulated worlds are not only real\, but that they are capable of providing experiences which exceed those possible in the “real world.” Moving with ease from the mind-body problem to The Matrix\, Chalmers presents (in his work) a refreshing and surprising fusion of cultural commentary\, technological insight\, and philosophical meditation.  \nClick here to RSVP\nAbout the speaker: \nDavid Chalmers is a philosopher and cognitive scientist specializing in philosophy of mind and philosophy of language. He is Professor of Philosophy at New York University and co-director of NYU’s Center for Mind\, Brain\, and Consciousness. Chalmers is the author of three books\, including The Conscious Mind (1996)\, as well as numerous articles. He was elected a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts & Sciences in 2013.  \nRegistration required. Free and open to the public. \n*The discussion will be available both online and in person. While the conversation will happen in person (Chalmers will appear in the Reading Room)\, the Library will stream the conversation on Zoom for a live viewing experience. Both in-person and online attendees will be able to pose questions. \nClick here to RSVP\n•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• \nImportant on-site information regarding COVID-19: Masks remain strongly recommended\, per the French Ministry of Health.

SUMMARY:(Hybrid) Opening Doors in Architecture with Rahim Danto Barry
DESCRIPTION:Join Evenings with an Author (in person and online*) to discuss \nPortes d’Afrique\nwith architect and author Rahim Danto Barry \nClick here to RSVP\nArchitect Rahim Danto Barry will be speaking about his career in France and his seminal work\, Portes d’Afrique (1999). From the Centre Pompidou-Metz\, to the Stade de France\, to terminals of Charles de Gaulle\, Barry has helped develop emblematic sites dedicated to sports\, travel\, and culture across France. He is an expert in movement\, and this fascination with transit is expressed in his writing: Portes d’Afrique is both a rigorous study of doorways in African architecture\, and a meditation upon heritage\, culture\, and identity. Considering the door as both a physical feature and a symbol of passage\, Barry traverses an array of countries and regions in Africa in search of the functional\, aesthetic\, and spiritual as expressed in the doorway.  \nThis conversation will be in French. \nClick here to RSVP\nAbout the speaker: \nRahim Danto Barry is an architect working in France. Notable projects to which he has contributed include the Centre Pompidou-Metz\, the Stade de France\, and the Pavillon de la France for the 1992 Seville Universal Exposition. His writings on architecture include a chapter in La Fondation Louis Vuitton par Frank Gehry (2014) and his 1999 work Portes d’Afrique.  \nRegistration required. Free and open to the public. \n*The discussion will be available both online and in person.
