What unites philosophy, poetry, and mysticism of the early 20th century? Nikita Syundykov's lecture invites you to immerse yourself in the atmosphere of the Silver Age. The Silver Age is not just a chronological segment in the history of Russian culture. It is a whole universe of ideas, searches, and discoveries that left a mark in poetry, painting, philosophy, and spiritual life. It was a time when at the intersection of modernism, religious thought, and new artistic forms, not only brilliant works emerged but also worldview concepts that remain relevant today. In the lecture "The Spirit of the Silver Age," historian of Russian philosophy Nikita Syundykov will discuss the ideas that underpinned the era. Why did the question of God become a question about man? How does the aspiration for an ideal society combine with the aestheticization of solitude? What cultural and philosophical currents preceded the silver dawn of the early 20th century - and why do we still live in its light? We will tell you how to organize leisure in St. Petersburg.
