\nAbstract: In 2014\, Petr Dvořá\;k put forward a hypothesis about structural convergence of two cosmological arguments: by Avicenna and Bolzano. Indeed\, both arguments are based on the notion of the whole (totum) of all contingent/conditioned individuals\, different from the notion of the classical set containing them. However\, the authors differ in their attitude to the impossibility of regress ad infinitum. Our goal is to reconstruct Avicenna's argument on the basis of modern unitary theory of sets and individuals and compare this reconstruction with the Bolzano&rsquo\;s argument already expressed in the same formal frame. The lecture will be followed by the talk "God and Timeless Cognition"\, by Michał Pawłowski and Bartosz Wesó\;ł\, the winners of the second Kurt Gö\;del Award 2021.
