Webinar #162 Dr Nick Land - Who decides who we are - Thinking about self and identity
from ICMDA Recordings · host ICMDA
Recorded on 17 August 2023 for ICMDA Webinars. Dr Peter Saunders chairs a webinar with Dr Nick Land. Who, or what, decides who we are? Is it our genes, our biology, is it our society, our education, our upbringing, our culture, is it God? Identity has become a major source of conflict and controversy in Western society. Many of us have been engaged in discussions over sexuality and gender but there is a risk that if we limit ourselves to this we will fail to see the wider changes in the way Western Society understands identity. This webinar will look at the corrosion caused to ethics and civic society by the rise of expressive individualism as the West’s way of defining self. Dr Nick Land is a psychiatrist, a retired medical director, an Anglican Reader (Lay Preacher), Lay Chair of the Diocese of York and a previous chair of Christian Medical Fellowship.
