Nova saznanja o Nikoli Tesli predstavljena na Harvardu

Centar ze evropske studije Univerziteta Harvard i Harvardovo Južnoslovensko društvo organizovali su 11. februara panel koji je predstavio novo lice Nikole Tesle.

Događaj je započeo predavanjem Aleksandra Protića, direktora Tesla memorijalnog projekta i Federalnog savetnika Francuske Federacije za UNESKO o doprinosu svetskom miru Nikole Tesle, kao i o njegovom mestu u međunarodnoj baštini.

U nastavku je održana panel diskusija na kojoj je predstavljena knjiga "Put mira Nikole Tesle" u izdanju UNESKO Centra za mir, "Teslianum" energetskog inovacionog centra i Tesla memorijalnog projekta. Zbornik članaka osvetljava Teslin doprinos svetskom miru, strategijama, filantropiji, održivom razvoju, etičkom preduzetništvu, teme koje su gotovo nimalo poznate u vezi Tesle.

Štampano izdanje knjige se ne prodaje, već poklanja izuzetnim pojedincima koji su se posvetili Tesli.

Digitalna verzija knjige biće svima besplatno dostupna putem interneta. U knjizi, o Tesli pišu nobelovci, akademici, eksperti MENSA-e, UNESKO-a, UNICEF-a, čuveni pisci, profesori i studenti iz različitih zemalja.

Gordana Vunjak-Novaković, profesor biomedicine na čuvenom Univerzitetu Kolumbija u Njujorku i dvostruki američki akademik, otvorila je panel govoreći o Teslinoj etici u životu i radu, kao i o poukama koje nam je ostavio. Gi Đoken, direktor UNESKO centra za mir, govorio je o tome šta lideri mogu da nauče od Tesle.

Mirjana Prljević, međunarodni ekspert za strateško pozicioniranje, predsednik Energetskog inovacionog centra "Teslianum" i izvršni direktor Fondacije za mir i rešavanje kriza, analizirala je premijerno Teslu kao primer sjajnog stratega i naglasila da su izuzetni ljudi ključ dobrih strategija.

Srđan Pavlović, predsednik frankfurtske interkulturne mreže Nikola Tesla posvetio se Teslinoj kreativnosti. Zorica Civrić, viši kustos Muzeja nauke i tehnike u Beogradu, predstavila je komparativnu analizu Tesle i Šekspira kao analogiju dva genija. Rave Mehta, pisac bestseler stripa o Nikoli Tesli razmatrao je savremeni pristup istoriji nauke i način na koji Tesla može da inspiriše mlađe generacije.

Pored profesora i studenata univerziteta Harvard, događaju u Harvardovom Centru za Evropske studije prisustvovao je i diplomatski kor, naučnici, preduzetnici i umetnici.

by Archimandrite Justin Popovich

"Father Justin Popovich, pan-orthodox witness to the God-revealed and Christ-given Eternal Truth, whose testimony can be even seen within this collection of his articles - that "the mystery of Truth is not in material things, not in ideas, not in symbols, but in Personhood, namely the Theanthropic Person of the Lord Christ, Who said: I am the Truth (John 14:6), Truth perfect, never diminished, always one and the same in its complete fullness - yesterday, today, and forever (Heb.13:8)."

The treasure to be found in this anthology of neopatristic syntheses consists of: "Perfect God and perfect man" - Nativity Epistle, where Fr Justin boldly exclaim that "man is only a true man when he is completely united with God, only and solely in God is man a man, true man, perfect man, a man in whom all the fullness of Godhead lives."; "The God-man" - The foundation of the Truth of Orthodoxy - Ava Justinian language of love in Christ-centered reflections of Truth; "The Supreme Value and Infallible Criterion"- contemporary philosophical reflections on visible and invisible realities; "Sentenced to Immortality" - a homily on the Resurrection or Our Lord Jesus Christ; "Humanistic and Theanthropic Culture"-criticism of European anti-Christian culture; "Humanistic and Theanthropic Education" - indicative pondering of consequences of education without God.. ; "The Theory of Knowledge of Saint Isaac the Syrian" - Faith, prayer, love, humility, grace and freedom, the purification of the intellect, mystery of knowledge; "A Deer in a Lost Paradise" - Ava's renowned poetic essay, a confession, and deepest longing for all-sweetest Jesus...
