Join us for a thought-provoking one-day course exploring the intersection of philosophy and literature through Milan Kundera's The Unbearable Lightness of Being and Friedrich Nietzsche's concept of Eternal Recurrence. Designed for curious minds, this course invites participants to engage in lively discussions about themes of lightness, weight, existence, and moral choice. Delve into character analyses and contemporary relevance, fostering a deeper understanding of how philosophical ideas enrich our reading and appreciation of literature.
