Lecture Day on Lev Shestov

 

Today a compelling exploration of the radical thought of Lev Shestov is taking place, organised by The Institute for Orthodox Christian Studies. Shestov is 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 (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’
