72nd session of the Philosophical Foundations of Law and Finance (Friday 25, 6-8pm, Room 5.16, 309 Regent Street, University of Westminster)

Dear all,

in the 72nd session of the Philosophical Foundations of Law and Finance, inevitably, we will engage in discussions about all the current bad news of wars, earthquakes, tsunami, nuclear catastrophes, financial crises that force us to search for an antidote or an escape. In response to the rapture of the pre-2012 Mayan millenarian event, we will examine the concept of "delusions" or "why do people experience freaky sensations."

Readings from Professor Richard Wiseman's book "Paranormality: Why we see what isn't there" (2011) and Charles Mackay’s book “Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds” (1841).

Afterwards, we will go for Persian cuisine at the Galleria, 17 New Cavendish St, London W1G 9UA.

See you tomorrow,

Rezi & Joe
