Public Lecture with Professor Raimond Gaita (University of Melbourne/Centre for Ethics, University of Pardubice).
Friday December 6 (Alpha, Seminar Room)
The Centre cordially invites you to a public lecture by prof. Raimond Gaita entitled “One of those books we cannot do without”: Refl ections on Primo Levi’s If This is a Man
In 1978 Václac Havel wrote his now legendary underground essay on the ”power of the powerless” in the post-totalitarian Soviet bloc. Dedicated to the memory of Czech philosopher Jan Patočka (1907-1977)––like Hável, a member of the Charter 77 human rights movement––the text examines a constellation of concepts that remain crucial for understanding Soviet Eastern Europe specifically and political oppression generally: power, ideology, freedom, responsibility, technological civilization, and the central yet problematic figure of ”the dissident”.
We cordially invite everyone to participate on an intesive seminar with professor John Lippit. All the details are on the poster.
