Algorithms and the Soul: Seeking Meaning in Postmodern Dead Waters

First part of our Sunday Evening Spirit Academy with Tomáš Sedláček at Opero.

We invite you to a Sunday philosophical feast. Echoing the spirit of the renowned Philosophy Bohemia gatherings, a new, intimate space for seeking meaning opens under the arches of Prague’s Opero. The Truth and Love 2.0 series is not merely a set of lectures; it is a self-development journey into the depths of our personal and civilizational soul and spirit. Where do we come from, what voice drives us forward?

We will embark on a fascinating intellectual pilgrimage, spanning the great arcs of Bohemian philosophical thought—from the flames of Jan Hus to the quiet, yet profoundly powerful revolution of Václav Havel. No need to upgrade “truth and love” for the 21st century – just to awaken it. A new narrative for Bohemia and Europe. Faced with global chaos and ever new multicrisis, the quest for meaning is the new luxury. Welcome to Truth and Love 2.0.

This self-development cycle starts with the first of three interconnected evenings on the topic:

Algorithms and the Soul: Seeking Meaning in Postmodern Dead Waters

Where does our inner voice begin and end? We find ourselves navigating the dead waters of postmodernism, in a world that seems to have lost its central narrative. What is the meaning of humanity and our future in an age where AI will replace our thinking as machines have replaced our bodies two hundred years ago? Jan Hus, Jan Amos Komenský, Tomáš Masaryk and Václav Havel and their reading of the Spirit of nation. The dead waters and living waters of the Spirit. The reconstruction of life philosophy of Václav Havel.

Sign up here for the full Truth and Love 2.0: Living Philosophy of Václav Havel cycle.

Note: The entire series will be held in English
