The Fenwick Lectures

By John Panteleimon Manoussakis
Edited by Louis Light

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.

If I could be one philosopher, I'd be myself. But if I could be two, I'd want to be Manoussakis as well.

Jean-Luc Beauchard, author of The Fruit of Death
