In the organizer's words:
“What Does a Human Being Count For?” Book Launch – Moderator: Hanno Hauenstein
What does radical humanism mean? Carolin Emcke has been traveling to Israel-Palestine for over 20 years. Most recently, she was there to speak with people from Bee’ri or Jenin, from Tel Aviv or Ramallah—and to shed light on the blind spots of empathy in our local discourse.
Are there limits to empathy for others? What obligations does the memory of history impose on us? Are there limits to the duty to speak out in the name of human rights? Or should nothing prevent us from perceiving others as part of the universal “we”? Carolin Emcke was already asking herself these questions before October 7 and the events in Gaza. But since then, they have become even more urgent. Ultimately, it comes down to the existential question: What is a human being worth?
“What Is a Human Being Worth?” will be published on September 23, 2026, by S. Fischer Verlag
