Dive into the transition from mythical narratives to rational discourse, examining how ancient cultures embraced the ordering principle of the universe, the Logos. One of the fundamental questions that religion tried to answer was “How should one live?”. We will theorise how the Logos handed out its moral code to us.

Embark on an intellectual journey that traverses the evolution of religious thought, unravelling the tapestry of belief systems from the ancient times of Zoroaster to the birth of Christianity.

Join us for a thought-provoking series of five lectures that explore the profound shifts in human understanding from Mythos to Logos, and the transformative milestones in the history of the Abrahamic religions. We will examine the evolution of ancient religion critically with the help of reason and science, as well as poetry.

The lectures follow each other but can be attended separetely. 

These lectures are part of The Poetic Reason Series, a series of lectures based on “The Poetic Reason: Or Enquiry into the Divine” (Azara, 2021), an investigation into divinity as seen through the lenses of history, philosophy and science - but also the heart.
