Fighting for the future – with Barbara Bleisch, Kirsten Meyer and Dominic Roser
with Barbara Bleisch Dominic Roser Kirsten Meyer Simone Miller
“But surely we’re still allowed to enjoy ourselves.” – “We can’t stop the catastrophe now anyway.” – “The market will sort it out.” These days, such blanket statements are used all the time – as justification, as an excuse, as resignation. But they do not get us anywhere. In their book, Besser um die Zukunft streiten [“How To Fight Better for the Future”], philosophers Barbara Bleisch, Kirsten Meyer and Dominic Roser – together with Stefan Riedener and Christian Seidel – confront a cacophony of voices that needs something other than populist outrage or a dismissive shrug. They ask: How valid are these statements really? What does responsibility mean in the face of the climate crisis? And how can you think without sinking into paralyzing indifference? Their book is an appeal for reasoned action – and makes a case for the usefulness of philosophy. An evening for anyone who does not want to leave the fight for our future to those who shout loudest. Host: Simone Miller
