LUISA NEUBAUER MEETS CAROLIN EMCKE: RESPECT IS NOT TOO MUCH TO ASK
How should we deal with violence and misanthropy? What can be done to counter authoritarian regimes and attacks on freedom and equality? And what does humanism mean today? In her new book, RESPEKT IST ZUMUTBAR [“Respect Is Not Too Much to Ask”] – collected columns and speeches from the last 10 years – CAROLIN EMCKE dissects social and political conflicts with an unerring eye. She talks to LUISA NEUBAUER (“What if We Are Brave?”), one of the most influential young voices of the climate movement. They ask: Who do we want to be in a time when democracy and truth are being destroyed? Two passionate thinkers discuss respect and responsibility – in the face of global crises and an urgent need to take action.
