	Open Societies and Democratic Sustainability in the Shadow of Big Tech	Tue, 22.11.2022	Lecture	Allison Stanger Ludger Hagedorn	Open Societies and Democratic Sustainability in the Shadow of Big Tech Tue, 22.11.2022 Speakers: Allison Stanger Ludger Hagedorn Series: Lecture There is growing public awareness that the velocity of technological innovation has outstripped the West’s efforts to harness it to the common good. An unprecedented shift in the balance of power between multinational industry and national governments has been a necessary condition for these new challenges. While many of these problems are in some ways new, they have also been previously encountered. Learning from past thought on existential threats to human values can help us better protect and defend the contemporary free world. Read more

	Ancient Philosophy and Modern Freedom in Times of Crisis	Mon, 21.11.2022	Seminars and Colloquia	Carlos Fraenkel Ludger Hagedorn	Ancient Philosophy and Modern Freedom in Times of Crisis Mon, 21.11.2022 Speakers: Carlos Fraenkel Ludger Hagedorn Series: Seminars and Colloquia Can we learn something from ancient philosophy? Yes, Carlos Fraenkel argued, a great deal. Since the Soviet Bloc crumbled, more people than ever are free to live as they please. What liberal societies fail to teach us is how to make good use of all that choice. The last few years have thrown us into ever-growing confusion: extreme weather, populist upheaval, billionaires buzzing through space juxtaposed with capsized migrant dinghies washing up on shores, war in Europe, etc. The ancients, Fraenkel argues, can help us fix the mess.

	„Wir werden auf Russisch ermordet.“ Plädoyer für eine involvierte Sprache	Thu, 17.11.2022	Lecture	Ludger Hagedorn Misha GlennyGeorg Witte	„Wir werden auf Russisch ermordet.“ Plädoyer für eine involvierte Sprache Thu, 17.11.2022 Speakers: Ludger Hagedorn Misha GlennyGeorg Witte Series: Lecture Der Ukrainekrieg hat den Osteuropadiskurs nachhaltig erschüttert. Nаchdem geokulturelle Konfrontationen des „Ostens“ und „Westens“ seit dem Ende des Kalten Kriegs fast schon erledigt schienen, beobachten wir derzeit ein bemerkenswertes Wiederaufleben der Block-Konfrontationen. Es stellen sich unerwartete Fragen: Wie ist ein Osten neu und wieder zu denken unter den Prämissen einer Dekolonisierung Russlands, gerade im Hinblick auf kulturelle und sprachliche Hegemonien? Kann die russische Kultur „bestraft“ werden (Oleksiy Radynski), und wenn ja, von wem und wie? Gewinnt der Westen eine neue historische Bedeutung ausgerechnet als antihegemoniale Projektionsfläche? Schließlich: Was heißt es vor diesem Hintergrund, unseren eigenen Diskurs zu dekolonisieren? Read more

Specifically, it examined what Kurt Flasch aptly called "the spiritual mobilization" of philosophy. It revisited Jan Patočka's interpretation of the First World War in the sixth of his Heretical Essays. As Patočka declared, the "excessive" character of the 20th century was best exemplified in the dangerously romantic conception of "force." Read more
