Course: Consciousness, Existentialism, and The Human Sociont
with Alexander Bard - 2nd, 9th and 16th November 2025, 6 PM CET
In this intensive short course, philosopher, futurist, and social theorist Alexander Bard explores the evolution of consciousness, the existential condition of humanity, and his groundbreaking concept of the human sociont—the networked collective being that emerges in the digital age.
Through dialogue with existentialist thinkers (Sartre, Heidegger, Kierkegaard) and systems theorists, Bard situates the individual within the larger matrix of culture, technology, and collective mind. Participants will gain both a philosophical grounding and a provocative lens to interpret the transformations of identity, meaning, and society in the 21st century.
