“His hatred of the world, I suggest, is a disappointed love for the world, and his love for the world, like most of ours, is merely an appetite, a craving arising from an unfillable void.” Join us for Miroslav Volf’s second Gifford Lecture on May 13, at the University of Aberdeen and online.

Miroslav Volf's second Gifford Lecture is "Odium Mundi: Schopenhauer on Suffering and the Will to Nothingness". Join us here: forms.office.com/e/fnFd4XmGNw
