Please join the extended NSSR community as we inaugurate the Agnes Heller Research Professorship, held by Professor of Philosophy Dmitri Nikulin, and honor Heller's legacy.
After opening remarks from Prof. Nikulin, we'll watch the feature-length documentary film AGNES HELLER: PHILOSOPHER, DISSIDENT, ACTIVIST from director, writer, and producer Helio San Miguel (Faculty, PhD in Philosophy, MFA in Film). The documentary traces the journey of world-renowned philosopher Agnes Heller (1929-2019), from surviving the Holocaust and challenging Hungary’s socialist regime to becoming one of the most influential voices in philosophy as a professor at NSSR. Through archival material, interviews, and critical analysis, the film explores her dedication to ethics, individual freedom, and social justice.
