Part two of the UK events website's Philosophy & Science series, "Fallacies of the Zeitgeist - Misunderstandings of Scientific Ideas," takes place on August 22nd at New Acropolis Ireland in Cork City, Blackpool. Hosted by various performers, the event is free with a £5 entry fee and aims to explore common misconceptions within mainstream science.
Part two of our Philosophy & Science series will explore some of the common misconceptions of mainstream science.
Ideas such as Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs, The Selfish Gene, and Darwinian Evolution have become so prevalent that we take for granted we understand them, but what we think they mean versus what they actually represent can be more different than we realise.
Key to the scientific approach is humility, to accept what we know and do not know and to seek the truth with objectivity and a deep desire to understand.
Tea/coffee refreshments included in cover charge
Places limited, advanced booking recommended.
