What is a person? (And who's asking?)
Rob Wilson takes a deep dive into ways in which philosophers, anthropologists, economists, and others have tried to answer this question. Be prepared to wade through questions about human nature, ethics, the study of humanities and social sciences, and the intersection with natural sciences. Bring your answers and questions.
