    "name": "Alva Noë | Love and Consciousness",
    "description": "The 2025 Presidential Lecture in the Humanities and Arts presents Alva Noë, Professor of Philosophy at the University of California, Berkeley. \n\nWhat is love, but the striving for intimacy? And that’s what consciousness is, too, the work, always unfinished, of coming into relationship, and sustaining it. In this talk, I explore the idea that love and value are key to understanding consciousness. And that consciousness, for its part, needs to be put where it belongs, in the midst of feeling, longing, striving, coping. Love and consciousness, as I explore them, are life’s work.\n\n—Alva Noë\n \n\nRSVP >>\n \n\nAbout the Speaker\n\nAlva Noë is Professor of Philosophy, and Chair of the Department of Philosophy, at the University of California, Berkeley, where he is also a member of the Center for New Media, the Institute for Cognitive and Brain Sciences, and the Program in Critical Theory.
