Event Details

Profs and Pints presents, “Ancient Chinese Philosophy,” with Justin Jacobs, associate professor of history at American University and scholar of ancient China and the Silk Road.

Saturday, January 25th ushers in the Chinese New Year. Why not put yourself in the right mindset with a special matinee Profs and Pints talk on ancient Chinese philosophers, who left an enduring legacy still with us today?

Your guide to understanding these leading thinkers will be Justin Jacobs, who also has left Profs and Pints audiences spellbound with his talks on the Silk Road, “the real Indiana Jones,” and the history of Tibetan Buddhism.

He’ll introduce some of the most important thinkers from ancient China—including Confucius, Mozi, Mencius, Xunzi, Zhuangzi, and Han Feizi—and he’ll discuss how they tried to change the world they lived in. He’ll examine what they had to say about the meaning of life, the role of the state, the importance of civilization, relationships among people, and how to gain and maintain power.

His talk also will cover one of the most violent and innovative periods in Chinese history—the Warring States era of 475–221 B.C.—and how its conclusion ushered in the age of empires in East Asia.

You’ll enter the Year of the Rat with the insights of a great professor, starting it off right. (Advance tickets: $12. Doors: $15. Save $2 with student ID. Listed time is for doors. Talk starts 30 minutes later. Please arrive in plenty of time to place any order and be seated and settled before the talk begins.)

Event Details

Profs and Pints presents: “Dolphins of the Potomac,” with Janet Mann, professor of biology and psychology at Georgetown University and author of Deep Thinkers: Inside the Minds of Whales, Dolphins and Porpoises.

Having spent 30 years studying wild bottlenose dolphins 13,000 miles away, in Western Australia, Janet Mann was overjoyed to encounter them in the Potomac River, literally in her backyard. She responded by launching the Potomac-Chesapeake Dolphin Project, a research project that has documented more than 1200 individuals, including one they watched being born in the Potomac River.

Come hear give a fascinating talk from one the world’s leading dolphin experts on dolphins and what the local research project has found.

You’ll learn how bottlenose dolphins, which have brains similar in size to ours and much larger than chimpanzees’, navigate the marine world using cognitive abilities strikingly different from our own. You’ll gain a deep understanding of how they maintain their own complex society, with long-term bonds, friends, allies, and enemies.

You’ll become familiar with the habits of our local dolphin population and find out why they are coming into the Chesapeake Bay and Potomac River each year and where they travel on their journeys. You’ll also be introduced to local dolphin residents, who—this is Washington, after all—now bear names such as Frederick Douglass, Benjamin Franklin and Nancy Pelosi.

You’ll walk out eager for a chance to look out over local waters with a heightened sense of wonder, eager to spot our smart aquatic friends. (Advance tickets: $12. Doors: $15. Save $2 with student ID. Listed time is for doors. Talk starts 30 minutes later. Please arrive in plenty of time to place any order and be seated and settled before the talk begins.)
