“Getting Deeper into the Grand Canyon and Other Natural Wonder” with Matthew Goodwin

November 19 @ 2:30 pm - 4:00 pm

FREE

PRESENTATION DESCRIPTION

Why are we drawn to such places as the Grand Canyon? Why are people moved to travel from all around the world to visit and explore them? In this presentation, we will discuss people’s relationship with the natural landscape with a particular focus on some of Arizona’s most iconic locations. What are the ethical implications of our encounters with these natural wonders? What can philosophy teach us about the interaction between humanity, beauty, and sublime nature?

This program is cohosted by the Maricopa County Library District – White Tank Library.
