Synopsis

In the spring of 2019, the enigmatic philosopher John Panteleimon Manoussakis was invited to Fenwick University to give a series of prestigious lectures revolving around the Psalmist's question Quid est Homo? What is man? After delivering the lectures, Manoussakis abruptly disappeared from the public eye and has not been seen since. Now, for the first time, these dazzling Fenwick Lectures are being made available thanks to the dedicated work of the University's longtime archivist, Louis Light. In the pages of this book, readers will find Manoussakis at his best: erudite, insightful, in possession of the finest wit of his day. Indeed, if there had been any doubt, The Fenwick Lectures prove that Manoussakis deserves to be hailed as one of the great geniuses of the 21st century.

About the Authors

John Panteleimon Manoussakis was born in Athens, Greece, and educated in the United States, earning a doctorate in philosophy from Boston College. His last public appearance was in 2019 at Fenwick University where he delivered the prestigious Fenwick Lectures. After that, he withdrew from the world, founded the monastic Community of One (of which he was the sole member), and lived for the rest of his life as a recluse in Boston, scarcely ever stirring abroad except in order to teach his courses at the College of the Holy Cross in Worcester. His books include God After Metaphysics: A Theological Aesthetic (Indiana University Press, 2007); For The Unity of All (Cascade, 2015); and The Ethics of Time (Bloomsbury, 2017).

Poet, playwright, panharmonist, Louis Light most recently served as Master of the Vault and Keeper of Secrets at Fenwick University.
