Prof. Dr. Miroslav Volf: Self-transcendence – How does the spiritual dimension contribute to flourishing?

"Self-transendence – How does the spiritual dimension contribute to flourishing?"

11 December 2024 | 7 p.m.

Prof. Dr. theol. Miroslav Volf (Yale University)

Prof. Miroslav Volf sees human life as being guided at the lowest level by habits (autopilot mode), at the next level by efficiency (strategic mode), followed by a personal vision (self-aware mode) and finally, at the highest level, by the truth outside of oneself (self-transcendence mode). Considering these perspectives, personal well-being and a flourishing life require a level of existentiality to produce tangible good life experiences and allow for a recognition of the spiritual dimensions of the human experience.

The lecture will be held in English language. A translation into German will be provided on site.
If you participate via Zoom, the lecture will be transmitted in German.
