What’s being debated
The event "Olvidar a Dios. Introducción a la teología materialista de Slavoj Žižek" examines the book of the same name by Eduardo Abril Acero (Dado Ediciones, 2026), which proposes a materialist reading of the figure of God through the thought of the Slovenian philosopher. The session focuses on how Žižek reinterprets religion, atheism, and spirituality from a critical perspective, challenging traditional dichotomies between faith and reason. According to the bookstore, the debate aims to "explore a territory where philosophy, theology, and materialism meet and confront each other."
Who’s taking part
The author, Eduardo Abril Acero, will present his work alongside Vicente Ordóñez Roig and María Picó, both linked to the bookstore’s Arte y Pensamiento cycle. Abril holds a PhD in Philosophy and specialises in contemporary thought, while Ordóñez and Picó contribute perspectives from critical theory and culture. The 90-minute conversation (19:00–20:30) is aimed at audiences interested in political philosophy, unconventional theology, and contemporary essays.
Access and requirements
Admission is free, but the bookstore recommends reserving a seat as capacity is limited. While not mandatory, purchasing the book—available at the bookstore—is encouraged to support future events. There’s no age limit or prior requirements: the session is open to anyone curious about the topic.
