The Spirit of Europe in the Shadow of MAGA: The Geopolitics of Hope

Second 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.

Second event from this self-development cycle of three interconnected evenings on the topic:

The Spirit of Europe in the Shadow of MAGA: The Geopolitics of Hope

From absurdity to meaning. Competition of meaning. While the world across the ocean seeks lost greatness in the slogans of the past, what is the true spirit of Europe? The clash of brute force with the soft power of ideas. Can Europe be a blueprint for a future institutional Salvator mundi? We will examine geopolitics through the lens of philosophy and myth, arriving at a surprising conclusion: in the end Havel§s vision makes sense.

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.
