Philosophizing with Gendlin
James G. Hart and Sigridur Thorgeirsdottir in Conversation
Thursday, June 12, 2025
1:00 - 2:30 pm NY time
RECORDING: The conversation and large group discussions will be recorded. Small group breakout rooms will not be recorded.
James G. Hart was a student at the University of Chicago in the 1960s, where he encountered Eugene Gendlin and his philosophy. Sigridur Thorgeirsdottir discovered Gendlin’s philosophy a little over a decade ago. For both philosophers, encountering Gendlin sparked a deep connection—something just "clicked." Their openness to taking a leap into philosophical practice and its underlying process philosophy allowed them to engage with his ideas in a transformative way. Both have drawn inspiration from Gendlin to further develop their own philosophical work, in theory and practice.
