This event, specifically designed to engage local high school students, will involve a performance by the Buntport Theater Company, followed by a conversation led by a group of philosophers. (Generously supported by an American Philosophical Association’s “Philosophy in the Public Square” Grant."

This panel, inspired by the Denver Museum of Nature and Science’s upcoming exhibit on “Our Senses,” will include local experts from various fields—including cognitive science, philosophy of mind and intellectual history. We will explore the fascinating history of theories of human perception and our ever-changing understanding of the relationship between appearance and reality.
