Die Suche nach Zusammenhalt

In the organizer's words:

Everyone in our society wants to be seen and understood, but very few people want to see and understand - a glaring imbalance. Everyone claims to be "unique", but society is not based on self-realization, but on relationship realization.

Philosopher and cultural journalist Catherine Newmark explores the question of what values society needs with Wilhelm Schmid. What holds it (halfway) together? Does it need an "identity" or rather an "integrity"? A "guiding culture"? How important is truth for social cohesion and how is it found? And why do autocracies have no future, even if they are currently on the rise?

Society thrives on citizens who care and who take care of them. It is high time to rehabilitate the word "bourgeois", which was once brought into disrepute. And how to deal with angry citizens? A conversation about the big and small issues in life that still have a unifying effect.
