A Lecture about Hamlet and the Meaning of Life

27 West Charlton Street,Savannah GA 31401

Description

More has been written about Hamlet than about any other work of literature. No interpretation of its enigma can be final, but Theodore Dalrymple - cultural critic, prison physician, and psychiatrist - will suggest an interpretation that will be of particular interest at the present time, suggesting that we are no nearer to understanding ourselves than was Hamlet. Please join us for this public lecture, which is part one in our three-part series Humanitas, which considers what the human self has meant, historically, across diverse times and cultures, and how this conception continues to inform the existential assumptions and convictions of our current moment.  To learn more about our event, and the series more broadly, please visit us at www.ralston.ac.
