Лекция «Европейский спиритуализм ХХ века»
– Человек есть дух, – писал философ-спиритуалист Луи Лавель. – Духовность – единственный род активности, из-за которой он заслуживает называться человеком. В осуществлении своей свободы человек создает не вещи, а смыслы вещей. В начале ХХ века в Европе сложилось сообщество антипозитивистских мыслителей, которых можно объединить общим движением под названием «спиритуализм». Они, как и экзистенциалисты, утверждали, что человек не сводится только к природе, но для них был характерен напряжённый интерес к нравственным и эстетическим ценностям человека, к его свободе. Спиритуалисты во многом были близки к экзистенциалистам, но они обращали особое внимание на Бога, причём, в отличие от романтиков, утверждали его принципиальную трансцендентность и абсолютность. Анри Бергсон – лауреат нобелевской премии 1928 г., христианский философ-персоналист Эммануэль Мунье, деятель Сопротивления и узник нацистских тюрем и близкий к ним иудейский мыслитель, переводчик Танаха (Ветхого Завета) на немецкий язык, которому он посвятил сорок лет жизни, Мартин Бубер станут героями этой последней лекции в цикле «История Западной философии».
Лекция «О теле души»
Людмила Улицкая действует в очень хорошей литературной традиции. Она сочетает биологическое образование с занятием сугубо гуманитарным – с писательством. Именно поэтому её прозу так часто упрекают в физиологизме. И именно поэтому она так пророчески описывает метафизику тела и, если угодно, телесные проблемы духа. Я думаю, что наш с ней разговор на эти темы будет особенно интересен так называемым «сомневающимся». Есть ведь «постигшие», которые уверовали уже окончательно либо в отсутствие Бога, либо в его существование. И вот с ними спорить неинтересно. А вот мы с Людмилой Улицкой будем разговаривать о том, что не совсем понятно. О тех точках, где душа проступает в теле, и о том, как она себя в нём осуществляет. Поскольку Улицкая, начиная с ранней своей прозы, касалась очень мучительных и запретных тем, и проза её всегда была на грани и за гранью откровенности, разговор обещает быть таким же: откровенным, мучительным и жгуче-интересным.

«Антропология 2.0» Public talk
Дмитрий Дибров – один из создателей современного российского телевидения, когда-то вёл культовую программу «Антропология». Программу, в которой он буквально интеллектуально потрошил приходящих к нему, большей частью музыкантов, но иногда и философов, иногда и политиков, расспрашивая их о том, что ему было действительно интересно. Все мечтали о том, чтобы появился человек, который распотрошил бы когда-нибудь самого Диброва. Вам представляется уникальный шанс увидеть, как я буду пытаться это сделать. Легендарный Дибров, который давно уже «стал миллионером», придет к нам на фестиваль «Прямая речь» и будет с предельной откровенностью отвечать на мои и ваши вопросы. А уж сумеем ли мы узнать о нем что-нибудь новое – это зависит только от нас. Дежурный по фестивалю Дмитрий Быков В рамках III Литературного фестиваля лектория «Прямая речь» в «Гоголь-центре».
