Plato’s Cave with Fabrice Hadjadj

A Platonic dialogue in depth with Fabrice Hadjadj about his life journey, conversion from atheism, and search for wisdom.
Host:
  • How did Nietzsche lead him to faith?
  • What was it like to write a book with Michel Houellebecq and marry a beautiful actress?
  • How can one be a joyful fool for Christ in the progressive world of contemporary Europe?

What was the life path of perhaps the most important European Catholic thinker of the younger generation, once a left-wing anarchist, nihilist and punk, today a prominent Catholic philosopher, playwright and father of 10 children? Fabrice Hadjadj plays the accordion and we may even get a surprise during the discussion ... The Plato's Cave format gives participants the experience of live contact with a rare guest and the opportunity for real dialogue. Therefore there are 30 seats limited.

Fabrice Hadjadj

Philosopher-artist… a French superstar of philosophy who breaks all the boxes.

He describes himself as „a Jew with an Arab name, of Catholic faith, speaking French."

Born in France to Jewish-Tunisian parents, he is a former atheist, a punk, and a fan of Nietzsche who, after his conversion, became one of the most original Catholic thinkers of our time.

Archbishop Charles Chaput has called him „one of the best Catholic minds of the last decades.”

In 2014, he was appointed a member of the Pontifical Council for the laymen.

He writes with fire, humor, and a deeply human perspective on everything from technology and sex to death, family, and the meaning of life.

Yes, this man’s journey is anything but not boring.
