A History of Life from Plato and Descartes to Darwin and Lovelock (My Frontiers of Knowledge talk in Aspen, CO)

I was back in Aspen, CO this past weekend for the second annual Frontiers of Knowledge event at Wheeler Opera House. I presented alongside David Peña-Guzman (who you’ll hear in the last few minutes asking me a question about artificial intelligence).

It was so much fun - and an absolute pleasure - to talk with fellow lover of beauty, Elizabeth Farrelly, on The Sydneyist. We discussed beauty's place in everyday life, how it differs from the pretty, and why it still matters. "Is Beauty Necessary?" you can find it here: eastsidefm.org/thesydneyist/

Does anyone out there have a pdf of Hegel's "Glauben und Wissen"? I know there are web versions but I'd really really like the Gesammelte Werke version (Band 4) if possible.
