Title: "The Ultimate Hybrid: Sartre, Merleau-Ponty and the Incarnation”
Description: Taking as a point of departure Sartre's characterization of human existence as a futile aspiration to become God and Merleau-Ponty's exclamation, 'L'Incarnation change tout', I'll discuss the 'transhuman hybrid' of the Incarnation and, with special attention to Maurice Godlier's work on parenté, the implications that this belief has had for the social expression of embodiment in pre-modern and modern European society.
Speaker: Dr. Louis Miller earned his BA at Columbia University and his PhD at Princeton. He then became a lecturer at the University of Pennsylvania from 1992 to 1994; served as Assistant Professor at Harvard between 1995 and 2000; taught at St John's College/Annapolis from 2000 until 2007.
