Description
Novelist Ian McEwan and psychologist Nicholas Humphrey will discuss the art and science of investigating conscious experience – asking whether there really are limits to what we can discover and describe about the inner world of others. Join them to explore how poetry and fiction can communicate what it is like to be a human being.
