In the organizer's words:

• Our Consciousness, Our Future: Philosophical Answers to the Climate Crisis
• Lecture

How do we as people and society deal with the existential threat posed by climate change? What mental resources do we need and how can we develop them? The renowned philosopher Thomas Metzinger examines the connection between the culture of consciousness and the planetary crisis. He raises the question of how we can find a constructive way of dealing with the climate crisis between despair and repression. How do you maintain your self-respect in a historical epoch in which humanity is losing its dignity? Join him for a discussion about individual and collective options for action in times of climate change.

Prof. Dr. Thomas Metzinger taught theoretical philosophy at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz until 2022. His research combines philosophy of mind, ethics and neuroscience.
