The Forum in Paris

Earlier this month I was at the
Forum for the Evolution of Consciousness in Paris. The event included revered French intellectual Edgar Morin, as well as Systems Scientist Ervin Laszlo, both of whom did dialogues with Andrew Cohen. Carter Phipps and I did a dialogue presentation on the emergence of the evolutionary worldview.
The sold-out event was held at Paris' Sorbonne University. They had space for 500 and could have probably filled a space for closer to 1,000 attendees, as there seemed to be a lot of buzz around the event. Overall it was very well received by the French, who are somewhat new to this
way of thinking, despite the legacy of the great French integral
philosophers Pierre Teilhard de Chardin and Henri Bergson. Below and above are some pictures of the event.
