About this event

Join us for a compelling exploration of the radical thought of Lev Shestov, a provocative voice in existential philosophy and a fierce critic of metaphysical certainty. This event delves into Shestov’s bold re-reading of the Western philosophical tradition and his call to reclaim faith, freedom, and the mystery of existence.

Featuring two distinguished scholars:

Professor David Patterson (The University of Texas)
‘Between the Tree of Knowledge and the Tree of Life: Lev Shestov's "Second Dimension of Thought’
(Online Presentation)

Dr. Marina G. Ogden (University of Glasgow / IOCS)
‘Lev Shestov on Freedom, Faith, and a New Dimension of Thought: His Revolt against Reason’
