Sophocles’ Oedipus Plays: Tyranny, Atheism, and the Limits to Enlightenment
A Discussion Seminar
Through Oedipus, who becomes a hero by solving the Sphinx's riddle, Sophocles gives us riddles of his own: Are there riddles that are best left unsolved? Are there truths we could not face? Are truly enlightened, rational, or "demystified" societies even possible, let alone desirable?
Join us at AAI this fall for a six-part seminar as we ponder these questions in an atmosphere of deep discovery, community, and intellectual exploration.
