Join Gabor Csepregi for the Winnipeg launch of his new book, In Vivo: A Phenomenology of Life-Defining Moments.

In Vivo explores foundational questions and pivotal moments of the human experience - engagement with a foreign culture, the decision to break free from unfortunate experiences, a generous action undertaken in the context of an otherwise regular day - in terms of their life-altering potential. Through illustrative examples, both real and fictional, Csepregi reveals the primacy of personal feelings in shaping human life and demonstrates the formative power of spontaneity outside the traditional context of formal education. These moments, and particularly the way they disrupt ordinary temporal order, Csepregi argues, are the lived experiences of our vitality.

Gabor Csepregi is adjunct professor of philosophy at Laval University and past president of Dominican University College and the Université de Saint-Boniface.
