Evald Ilyenkov (1924-1979) is the most important Soviet Marxist philosopher of the postwar. He has written on a large gamut of subjects, from problems of theoretical philosophy, theory of knowledge, the concepts of the “abstract” and the “concrete”, the “ideal”, and the universal, to Marx’s materialist dialectical method in Capital, problems of cybernetics, automation, machine-thinking, to problems of pedagogy, theory of education, psychology, human mind, and ethics and aesthetics. Ilyenkov can be considered the philosophical originator of what is known as “activity theory” in the Soviet Union, which in its turn precedes what is known as Cultural-Historical Activity Theory internationally nowadays. The concepts, ideas and theories of Ilyenkov have influenced generations of younger philosophers from the 1950s to present in Eastern Europe, while recently enjoying an increased attention in the anglophone world.
The aim of these monthly reading seminars is to closely familiarize the participants with the key concepts and theories developed by Ilyenkov with the hope of utilizing them in the face of contemporary polycrisis.

In Autumn 2022 we planted the first trees of the Cosmos Garden, when the war in Ukraine was still in its early days and the earth was sending vibrations of the bombs falling and the ecocide in progress. In Autumn 2023, after the 7th of October attack of Hamas and the ensuing massacre of Palestinians, turned into an ongoing genocide, we were planting fruit trees that were to become an orchard of hope. Apricot, pear, sour cherry, almond and quince trees. In Jewish Palestinian Aramaic language, quince was known as the miraculous fruit. In Autumn 2024, while Lebanon is being bombed, we organise another collective planting session. We will plant a Lebanese cedar, more fruit trees including a quince type named Constantinople, grape vine and others.
With the privilege and responsibility of being still alive, we continue to plant life and to cultivate hope, even when reason itself turned against it.
