About

What does the symbol of the labyrinth mean and how has it changed over the millennia? Attendees of the lecture can expect an intellectual journey through cultural layers - from ancient civilizations to the philosophy of Umberto Eco. What do you see when you look at the labyrinth? Tangled lines? A path to the center? A symbol of search, loss, discovery? In this new lecture from the author’s cycle by Viktor Troitsky "Contemplation in Forms," we will discuss the ancient graphic image that continues to stir minds and hearts. The labyrinth is present in myths, architecture, painting, literature - from the Cretan Minotaur to "The Name of the Rose" by Umberto Eco. It can symbolize fear and confusion, or it can signify deep inner transformation. Special emphasis will be placed on the "premonitions and omens" encoded in Albrecht Dürer's famous engraving "Melancholia - I," and on the "mathematics for humanists" - the lecturer's unique method that connects imagery, logic, and a historical-philosophical approach. Entertainment in Moscow is gathered on our website.
