Passion for Nothing: Explorations in Negative Theology 🌌

Join us for a thought-provoking evening as we delve into the intriguing realms of negative theology, inspired by the profound insights of Soren Kierkegaard.

Kierkegaard once suggested that 'only finitely is it true that something is better than nothing.' In exploring God as pure subjectivity, this event invites us to engage with the complexities of existence—a journey of pain and joy in pursuit of the elusive divine.
