Thursday 25^th June at 6.30pm — Pas­sion for Noth­ing: Explor­a­tions in Neg­at­ive Theo­logy:

‘Only finitely is it true that some­thing is bet­ter than noth­ing,’ wrote Søren Kierkegaard. ‘Where the infin­ite is con­cerned, the oppos­ite holds–that noth­ing is bet­ter than some­thing.’ Kierkegaard argued that God, who is pure sub­jectiv­ity, can­not be an object. Human exist­ence is there­fore a kind of pas­sion, mean­ing both suf­fer­ing and joy, in the end­less quest for the end­lessly elu­sive divine.

Please join us at St James’ King Street for an even­ing of spir­ited con­ver­sa­tion about neg­at­ive and apo­phat­ic theo­logy with philo­soph­er Vrasi­das Karal­is, theo­lo­gian Peter Kline, and poet Jonath­an McK­eown.
