The Existential Crisis of the Individual

📅 On July 5, the Academy of Thinking will host another event in its "Different Perspectives" series, dedicated to "The Existential Crisis of the Individual."

The discussion will be led by:

• Rezo Korinteli — Psychiatrist and Psychoanalyst
• Father Teodore Gignadze — Orthodox Priest

➡ An existential crisis is one of the deepest experiences of human existence. It often emerges when people begin questioning the meaning of life, personal freedom, suffering, faith, identity, and the purpose of existence.

During the lecture, participants will explore why existential crises arise, what triggers them, and whether they are temporary phases or an enduring part of the human experience.

Particular attention will be given to both the Christian understanding of existential crisis and the perspective of depth psychology. The discussion will examine not only the painful aspects of existential struggle but also its transformative potential—how uncertainty, inner conflict, and profound questions can lead to greater self-awareness, spiritual growth, and a deeper understanding of life's meaning.

🍰 Guests will enjoy light refreshments in a welcoming atmosphere.
