Attention is First Philosophy, a Book Event with Adam Robbert

In this event, Adam will share insights from his new book Practice in Still Life: Fragments, Essays, and Lectures. A study of saints, mystics, monastics, and philosophers, the book explores how philosophical and contemplative practices transform our perception and understanding of reality, especially in terms of how philosophy can help us refine and cultivate our capacity for attention.

Copies of Practice in Still Life: Fragments, Essays, and Lectures will be available onsite for purchase. 

This event is in-person and livestreamed
