Ah! Hannah Arendt
Reading and discussion with Wolfram Eilenberger, moderated by Matthias Bormuth
Why is philosophy so important to us? Amid climate catastrophes, AI revolutions, political upheavals, and cultural disorientation, Wolfram Eilenberger reexamines the role of philosophy. From Socrates to Foucault, from Kant to Adorno, and through the ruins of postwar philosophy, he unfolds a powerful philosophy of the present and advocates for a fresh start for philosophy in dark times. Like Hannah Arendt, who throughout her life maintained her distance from academic institutions and provoked readers worldwide through her literary work, Wolfram Eilenberger seeks to challenge our capacity for reflection. His philosophy also thrives on an apology for plurality, which rejects the boundaries imposed by academic institutions and seeks to entice the general public toward the unique freedom of forming their own opinions.
