Was denkt die Welt? Ein philosophisches Gespräch über Grundsatzfragen
-
Elisabeth-Herz-Kremenak-Saal
Plenary
/
in deutscher SpracheDie Versprechen der Moderne wirken so zerbrechlich und illusionär, dass viele sich ernüchtert aus der politischen Sphäre zurückziehen. Getrauen wir uns, angstlos über politische Ratlosigkeit zu sprechen? Ein Gespräch über die Weltbeziehungen des spätmodernen Menschen: über die Frage, was uns trägt, wenn Ohnmacht, Entfremdung und Gleichgültigkeit das Regiment übernehmen wollen und die Demokratie nervös und erschöpft wirkt.
