UPEI presents Research on Tap on March 11

UPEI will host Research on Tap on Tuesday, March 11, at 6:00 pm, at the Upstreet Brewery Taproom, 41 Allen St., Charlottetown, PEI.

Dr. Nebojsa Kujundzic, a professor in the UPEI Department of Philosophy, will give a presentation titled “The Puzzle of Existence and Reality.”

“The relationship between existence and reality is complex, as some things exist without being real, while others are real without existing physically,” he said. “Language and technology further blur this distinction, especially with virtual reality and social media. For instance, Facebook pages of the deceased exist digitally but hold reality only through the emotions of those who remember them.”

Research on Tap is a discussion series featuring UPEI researchers and is open to students, faculty, staff, and the general public. There is no charge to attend. All are welcome to attend.
