Meaning of Life Part 5 - Tarkovsky on Desire and Faith

"This, too, is what Stalker is about: the hero goes through moments of despair when his faith is shaken; but every time he comes to a renewed sense of his vocation to serve people who have lost their hopes and illusions." (Tarkovsky on his movie)

In our fifth meeting we will discuss Tarkovsky's Stalker. Please watch the movie in advance. https://youtu.be/Q3hBLv-HLEc

-------------------------------------------

We all seek meaning in our lives and dread futility. Philosophy doesn't provide facile answers, but the philosophical quest to make sense of our fleeting lives is one that we all share.

This group will explore possible answers by looking at a mixture of approaches. Not only philosophical writing, but also literature, history, poetry and films.

The organizer is not an expert in any of these writers but has a long experience in organizing similar meetings. He also has an Oxford PhD in European History as well as a Cambridge MPhil on the same discipline. He currently teaches foreign languages.

Meetings will be on Fridays at 15:00 ET on Zoom.
