The book is written by the authors of the popular podcast Arzamas “Respond Syrian mystics” Maxim Kalinin (philologist, translator, senior lecturer of the Institute of Classical Orient and Antiquity of the Higher School of Economics, chief editor of the ANO “Knowledge”) and Philip Dzyadko (writer, philologist, author of the novel “Radio Martyn”, co-founder and former editor-in-chief of educational projects Arzamas and “Gus”).
The book is built in the form of dialogue and is divided into chapters, which deal with such important topics as the nature of evil, love for others, guilt, burnout, criticism, fear, success, joy.
Throughout human history, there have always been periods in which millions of people have lost ground and hope. A similar era for many peoples was the VII century. Empires that seemed eternal were powerless against the Arab invasion. The destruction of centuries-old social relations, the rapid change of power, religion, language in the territories occupied by the Caliphate, made people believe that the end of the world is near.
How do you find meaning in a world where your faith is failing? Is it possible to find love in a society where everyone’s eyes are full of fatigue and the mind is full of anxiety? Strangely enough, it was then that people emerged who not only claimed that love was at the heart of the world, but found ways to find it in these difficult times. These people are Syrian mystics.
Their wisdom helps us find answers to the difficult questions we often ask today.
