Stephen Costello | Philosopher | The World is Relatively Real
PanelistThe World is Relatively Real: A Philosophical Perspective.
Markets rise and fall. Thoughts and feelings come and go. Things come into existence and pass out of existence. Is everything ephemeral and evanescent? Does anything endure?. This empirical world seems so real but it is in constant change. Only what is absolutely real lasts, perdures. But what is that? Dr Stephen J. Costello, PhD is a philosopher, psychoanalyst, founder of the Viktor Frankl Institute of Ireland, an Enneagram coach, and the author of 16 books. www.stephenjcostello.com

Joan Mulvihill
ModeratorJoan Mulvihill – long time member of the Congregation. Blow-in member of Mullingar community. Sometime joiner of the artist community. Recent member of Siemens Ireland having joined as Digitalisation Lead in February 2019. She is as likely to talk to you about poetry and art as she is to talk about technology and society. She is annoyingly happy right now so you’ve been warned! For someone who says she’s not a joiner, she seems to find herself in a lot of things!!!.
