Midnight Philosophy by Candlelight: Method

Online event

In Western and Indian philosophy, we find a tension between abstract concepts and direct perception, from Plato and the Buddha, to Descartes and Hume, to Russell and Wittgenstein. This talk will suggest how these seemingly opposed modes of knowing can be trained as complementary skills rather than conflicting positions, with implications for both philosophy and everyday life.

**[Bryan Kam](https://www.bryankam.com)** is a philosopher exploring the intersections of Eastern and Western philosophical traditions, with particular interest in making philosophy accessible and practical, and in the question of how conceptual thinking relates to human suffering and flourishing.

PFA is currently holding Kant's Cave meetings upstairs at the Two Chairmen, 39 Dartmouth Street, SW1H 9BP, with Zoom option for those who are not able to join in person, every first Monday of the month. Join us for more great talks and discussion! All welcome, link available when you sign up.

This event is sponsored by [the Royal institute of Philosophy](https://royalinstitutephilosophy.org/news/fund-your-event/).
