Viktor Kagan: We met to discuss the Human Experiencer and experience as a means of coping with life. The particular times we live in and the season of our lives, for many of us, are quite conducive to this. I have no desire to dry up the topic into deadening academicism, nor to soar to the heights of scientific knowledge. I am a psychologist, psychotherapist, psychiatrist, and not averse to philosophy and literature—perhaps these boundaries are relevant to your expectations for this meeting.
