Summary 內容: 這是一個焦慮的時代。不安、失望、無力感,困擾香港整個城市。這些負面情緒,為我們的心靈帶來衝擊,也帶來反省的契機:我們焦慮的來源是甚麼?焦慮有沒有正面的意義?原來,從哲學的角度看,焦慮是人類思考能力的表現──我們焦慮,因為我們懂得思考。這次劉保禧與你一起,分享哲學家的觀點,探討「焦慮」的意義,思索出路,重新出發。

此活動為 “Fear is live now” 系列講座。

Anxiety, despair, and a sense of powerlessness plague our times and the society. These emotions may be self-defeating, but allow us to address profound questions: Where does our anxiety come from? Does anxiety have any positive effects?

From a philosophical perspective, anxiety arises when we contemplate big questions. Dr. Lau Po Hei will share with you the philosophers’ views and explore the meaning of anxiety.

This is part of the “Fear is live now” series.
