MAP Open Lecture of Prof. Bence Nanay

The open lecture is born to be a safe and friendly space for every student who wants to have a taste of one of our classes. The Master in Philosophy is glad to welcome you with the help of Prof. Bence Nanay and his lecture “Beliefs and Emotions”.

Here is the abstract of the lecture:

"Emotions and beliefs are often contrasted: beliefs are rational, emotions are not. Beliefs are ‘cold’, emotions are not. And so on. We examine the feasibility of any such contrasts and, more generally, the question about what entities we should posit to explain our mental life.”

Open lectures are held on campus for philosophy students and on Zoom for everyone. To attend either in presence or online, please register by filling out the form on the landing page (https://join.usi.ch/en/master-philosophy-open-lecture?utm_id=97758_v0_s00_e0_tv2_a1demo0i81ew0z).

If you choose to attend the lecture remotely, we will send you an email to the Zoom meeting a couple of hours before the event. Alternatively, if you prefer to join us on campus, please arrive 20 minutes early for check‑in.
