SUMMARY:Author Series: "To Arrive Where We Started" with Dr. Ian Marcus Corbin
DESCRIPTION:Please join Countway Library and the HMS Center for Bioethics 
 for an Author Series event with Dr. Ian Marcus Corbin about his new book: 
 To Arrive Where We Started: Belonging in the Modern World.\n\nAbout the 
 Book:\n\nA sweeping meditation on the human search for home\, drawing on 
 the works of philosophers\, poets\, novelists\, scientists\, 
 anthropologists\, and theologians\n\nWhy do so many people in modern 
 societies feel not at home in their worlds? How have they become so 
 alienated from one another\, the natural environment\, and even themselves? 
 In this ambitious book\, Ian Marcus Corbin engages the fundamental 
 questions surrounding friendship with oneself\, one’s family\, friends\, 
 community\, nation\, and species.\n\nCorbin begins with a deep humanistic 
 and scientific dive into how humans inherit and refine their picture of the 
 world in community\, including what makes this process more or less 
 successful. He goes on to examine some human cultures—Native American\, 
 African\, and early American—that seem to have excelled at making their 
 people feel at home. He contrasts these cultures with contemporary America 
 in particular\, a society characterized by a facsimile of belonging that 
 substitutes a paranoid\, self-protective culture of ownership for the 
 self-opening practice of friendship. The book’s coda is a call to abandon 
 the illusion of ownership and to reopen ourselves to friendship with each 
 other\, nature\, and even the deepest sources of existence. \n\nAbout the 
 Author: \n\nIan Marcus Corbin\, PhD is an instructor in Neurology at 
 Harvard Medical School. He received his PhD in philosophy at Boston 
 College\, a Master's Degree in philosophy and religion at Yale University\, 
 and a Bachelor's Degree in politics at Gordon College. He studies 
 intersubjectivity\, cognition and human flourishing\, using the tools of 
 philosophy and cognitive science. He is interested in the ways that our 
 philosophical anthropologies shape the treatment of patients\, and vice 
 versa. He is publishing a book on belonging with Yale University Press in 
 2024.
