How did we come to see the world as revolving around us as humans, versus understanding ourselves to be part of a bigger natural order? Dr. Shadia Drury explores the roots of Hubris that permeates much of today's political and social discourse, and how Socrates was a fundamental turning point away from the classical understanding of how humans fit into the wider natural order. Elected as a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada in 2005 in the discipline of philosophy and ethics, Dr. Shadia Drury’s lifelong exploration of the history of western thought and political and religious philosophy makes her an insightful observer on today’s political environment in the U.S. and elsewhere. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
