Széplaky Gerda: Az Édenkert mint radikális közösség - Növényetika az Ószövetség nyomán
Title: Széplaky Gerda: The Garden of Eden as a Radical Community - Plant Ethics in the Old Testament
Date and Time: To be announced
Location: 47.493043, 19.062394
Organizer: Biblical Studies ELTE Budapest
Description:
Join us for an enlightening presentation by Széplaky Gerda titled “The Garden of Eden as a Radical Community - Plant Ethics in the Old Testament.” In this lecture, Széplaky Gerda will explore how the Old Testament describes the status of plants, whether in relation to creation, the idyllic Garden of Eden, or the interaction between humans and plants.
Drawing from biblical texts and classical depictions of paradise, particularly the works of Jan Brueghel, the speaker will analyze the role of plants in these narratives. The presentation will demonstrate that although Judeo-Christian culture regards humans as superior beings endowed with power, and places plants at the bottom of the hierarchy of existence, plants actually play a privileged role. The plant’s representation of life force and growth serves as the foundation upon which a new ethical thinking can be built.
Széplaky Gerda is a philosopher, aesthete, and critic, as well as a professor at the Institute of Fine Arts and Art Theory at the Eszterházy Károly Catholic University. She is the author and editor of philosophical, aesthetic, and artistic journals and monographs, and a member of research groups. Her latest book, “Neither God nor Animal: Chapters from the Deconstruction of Sacrificial Culture,” was recently published (Budapest: Prae, 2023).
Don’t miss this opportunity to delve into the fascinating connection between plants and ethics in the Old Testament. Stay tuned for further details regarding the date and time of the event. Event Link
