Yuri Kath

Yuri Kath, a Senior Lecturer in Philosophy at La Trobe University and author of "Knowing What It Is Like," dives into the complexities of experiential knowledge. He questions whether true understanding of feelings, like love or childbirth, requires firsthand experience. The discussion includes tiers of 'what it’s like' knowledge and the ethical nuances of representing life experiences in literature. Kath also examines how virtual reality can create empathy, while probing the limits of these simulators in conveying real emotions.
