Reedel, 1. juunil peab TÜ filosoofia ajaloo õppetooli külalisena avaliku loengu prof. Renée D.N. van Riessen. Loeng pealkirjaga "Kenosis: on the relation of ethics and mystics in the philosophy of Emmanuel Levinas" on inglise keeles ja kõik on oodatud kuulama. Algus kell 16:15 Jakobi 2 - 336.
Prof. Renée van Riessen holds the chair for Christian Philosophy in Leiden University, the Netherlands. Her areas of expertise are Christian philosophy, philosophy and religion, Jewish philosophy, phenomenology and post-modern philosophy. Her research in the first line concerns the theories of transcendence in relation to moral, esthetic and religious experience (Levinas, Lyotard and Agamben). The second line concerns the philosophical perspective of the soul and/or inner life, comparing and confronting classical Christian authors like Augustine, Kierkegaard and Dooyeweerd with positions in contemporary philosophy in the tradition of Husserl (Levinas, Marion, Lyotard, Derrida).
*The lecture touches the subject of Levinas' hermeneutics of kenosis taken up in her book **Man as a Place of God, Levinas' Hermeneutics of Kenosis*, Dordrecht (Springer) 2007.
