The readings will explore what exactly Schopenhauer wanted to convey in his article "On University Philosophy." Arthur Schopenhauer is a paradoxical and uncomfortable figure. His philosophy is full of challenge and skepticism, and his stance towards the academic community is ruthless. All of this is reflected in his article "On University Philosophy," which participants are invited to familiarize themselves with. The format is remote readings with live discussion. The organizers recommend reading the text in advance to engage in the dialogue. The moderator of the meeting is Yuri Tryapitsin, a philosophy expert and experienced lecturer, who will create a framework for thoughtful conversation. Participants will discuss the struggle between free thought and institutional knowledge, the theme of intellectual independence and its fate in a bureaucratized system. The event will be of interest to students, graduates of philosophy faculties, readers fascinated by German classics, as well as those who appreciate an unconventional approach to knowledge. At one table, fans of Schopenhauer and his critics, supporters of the academic tradition, and those seeking free forms of thinking will gather. Entertainment in Moscow is collected on our website.
