This year's seminar was titled: In Pursuit of Certain Truths: The Lives and Loves of a Certain European Idea (on truth and post-truth).
The discussion featured Marci Shore, Timothy Snyder, Krzysztof Czyżewski, and Viktoras Bachmetjevas.
The seminar draws from Marci Shore’s forthcoming book In Pursuit of Lost Certainty: Central European Encounters on the Way to Truth which is an intellectual history of contemporary Europe that descends into the age of totalitarianism and emerges from it. Told from an Eastern European perspective, it is a story of truth sought through relationships — encounters instead of conclusions, voices instead of doctrine. It is also a reflection on the prehistory of post-truth and a meditation on how ideas survive through dialogue, obsession, and resistance.
The seminar opened the Dilemma Summer School in Krasnogruda.
