There are small questions, larger questions, and the biggest questions. There are private questions, asked in one's own interest, and questions that are universal to humanity - questions that philosophers ponder and that are full of literature. However, there are questions of particular weight; they are often called Big Questions. A typical example of a Big Question, and one of the highest order, is the question of meaning. Not necessarily the meaning of life or the meaning of the Universe, simply the meaning. All other questions are just a dilution of this Big Question. Why does something exist at all? Why is this "something" the universe? Is it possible to liberate ourselves from the slavery of time? Can the existence of evil in the history of the universe be justified in any way? What is the boundary between good and evil? Why should we think and act rationally? What are values? How to survive another day well? These are all different versions of the basic question of meaning. A question that we cannot escape - even if we flew to the ends of the universe. Or maybe it is there, at the beginning and end of everything, that questions about meaning resonate the most? So maybe that is where we should look for answers to them? In his lecture, another in the series of Great Questions in Krakow, Rev. Prof. Michał Heller – world-famous cosmologist and philosopher, winner of the prestigious Templeton Prize – will ask the question about meaning and consider what answers to them are suggested by science, philosophy and theology. Are these answers consistent or contradictory? And why is the question of meaning itself the most significant one that can be asked? Why are there matters “more important than the universe”? The Great Questions are not only directed towards the answers they seek; they themselves carry within themselves the shadow of the answer – at least to the question of who is asking. The Great Questions never fall completely silent... Intro Music: www.bensound.com. Typography based on Minimal 2D Typography by Nexc.
