Tickets For Clare Carlisle And Sophie Oliver - 18/09

Join us on Thursday 18th September for an evening of transcendence.

Clare Carlisle will be chatting with Dr. Sophie Oliver all about her new book - Transcendence For Beginners, published by Fitzcarraldo. "Transcendence for Beginners examines life writing and philosophy across certain European and Indian traditions, exploring questions of childhood and mortality, art and religion, beauty and loss. Informed by her experience as a biographer of Søren Kierkegaard and George Eliot as well as her own life, Clare Carlisle asks what one human existence can reveal, and how writing can transmit its truth."

We're reading an advance copy, have absolutely no idea about transcendence but the books is written beautifully and, as you would expect, philosophically.

Clare is Professor of Philosophy at King’s College London, and the author of eight books on philosophy and philosophers, including Philosopher of the Heart: The Restless Life of Søren Kierkegaard and most recently The Marriage Question: George Eliot’s Double Life. She grew up in Manchester, studied philosophy and theology at Trinity College, Cambridge, and now lives in East London.

Dr. Sophie Oliver is an interdisciplinary scholar, curator and writer; specialising in modernist women writers and artists, fashion, the feminist avant-garde, and feminist approaches to cultural history.

As normal, tickets are £6 with a free drink on arrival. Pre-Order your copy of the book here. Doors from 6.30, event starts at 7.15.
