On Human Identity
Robert Rowland Smith at the House of Beautiful Business 2018
Robert Rowland Smith, a British philosopher, author, and constellator, explores the fundamental question of what it means to be human. In his latest book, AutoBioPhilosophy: An Intimate Story of What it Means to be Human (2018), he shares his life story involving a love triangle, office politics, police raids, illegal drugs, the academic elite, and a near-death experience. By using deeply personal experiences, he investigates the recurring patterns, unconscious motives, and social forces that govern our behavior, to offer new ways into human psychology.
