In this lecture, educator and author Ove Korsgaard explores the idea that no one can claim to hold the absolute truth, yet truth still has to be brought into the open through dialogue and struggle. The talk looks at how N.F.S. Grundtvig's concepts of struggle and truth belong together, and how Grundtvig often used the sporting contest as an image of the effort to bring truth to light.
Korsgaard is a doctor of pedagogy, author and professor emeritus in pedagogy at Aarhus University. He has previously led Gerlev Sports College and Den Frie Lærerskole, and has been a senior researcher at Nordens Folkelige Akademi. The evening is arranged by Aftenhøjskole.
