NEXUS: SCIENCE & ENGINEERING & PHILOSOPHY & ETHICS

Paul Wright PhD – Emeritus Professor of Engineering – UC Berkeley

Member-Led Discussion Group

This month in our member-led discussion group we will explore a question that

may generate uncomfortable answers: When do we call in the philosophers?

We will organize our exploration within a series of 3 images:

Albert Einstein – beloved scientist and philosopher of the atomic age

Charlie Chaplin – comedic everyman entangled in machinery of modern times

Sam Altman – founder of OpenAI and symbol of our present existential moment

Our speaker and discussion leader is Paul Wright PhD, who spent his entire career

at the cutting edge of science as Professor of Engineering at Carnegie Mellon, NYU,

and UC Berkeley. Paul will explore the value and role of philosophy in science.
