On September 30, 2015 the Flying University launches an academic year and invites for the new series of public lectures named “The main question”.
The organizers are going to hold meetings with Belarusan intellectuals, scientists, cultural workers weekly, on Wednesday in order to discuss different humanitarian, social, and cultural problems together.
We hope that these lectures will be the time and place for putting up questions important for thinking and common search for answers to these questions; for disputes, critique, interesting intellectual and cultural inventions.
For those who were engaged in our lecture courses and seminars earlier these lectures will be conductive to testing their abilities in practicing the thinking methods that they mastered in the Flying University. New listeners will get a chance to get acquainted with the university community, with the idea of the University, as well as feel the atmosphere of intellectual surroundings.
The official opening of the season of lectures will take place on September 30, 2015 in “U” Gallery (Minsk, Nezaleszhnasci avenue, 37a). Uladzimir Matskevich, philosopher and methodologist, will give a speech named “what can we know about the unpredictable, or what we know about the future?” The lecture will start at 18.30. Free admission!
