January Networking Brunch
Mind, Brain and the Question of the Soul:
Comparing Modern Neuroscience to the rich intellectual tradition of Islamic thought
With special guest Ahmed Obeidat, M.D., Ph.D.
Dr. Obeidat explores the relationship between mind, brain and soul through both modern neuroscience and examines how contemporary science understands cognition, consciousness, and brain function, alongside how classical Muslim scholars, drawing on the Qur’an, Hadith, and philosophy, conceptualized the nafs, ʿaql, and rūḥ.
Workshop:
By placing scientific insights in dialogue with Islamic history and theology, the lecture will give us a deeper, integrated reflection on what it means to be human.
Payment of $15 will be taken at the door: cash or credit please.
