saw this poster in a café. first thought it looked interesting because of the title. then saw one of the speakers was Raimond Gaita - Australian philosopher, better known among non-philosophers for writing Romulus, My Father, an Australian film directed by Richard Roxburgh with Eric Bana and Franka Potente. excellent film dealing with Gaita's upbringing, with a mother and father both suffering from mental illness. beautiful film.
if in Sydney, the public lecture ($5 entry at the Seymour Centre on June 26th) is something you could easily get to. for further details, go to the official website here
