Chris Kennedy (Linguistics, UChicago)
In Conversation with Agnes Callard (Philosophy, UChicago)
Thursday, May 28, 5:00-8:00 p.m. Central Time
Livestream on Crowdcast: click here to register for the conversation
At this event, we will discuss the following questions (and more):
- Is civilization a game we play with words?
- Should you respond to what I said, or what you think I meant?
- In a conversation, is someone keeping score—and should they?
- Can you make something happen just by saying words?
- Can we ever demand that others believe what we say?
- Which is more important: what’s said, or what’s left unsaid?
