Goethe Faust II – Zur Aktualität des Klassikers im 21.Jahrhundert

In the organizer's words:

Did Goethe seal up therapeutic instructions that need to be reconsidered in times of global climate crisis?

Marcel Lepper in conversation with Manfred Osten

That with the beginning of the industrial revolution the torment of the earth begins ("how it lets itself be tormented") and that it could one day respond with catastrophic revenge by the elements is a vision of Goethe's that is now beginning to catch up with us.

It is the concept of an alternative understanding of nature, developed over 200 years ago and negligently neglected, whose genesis the renowned literary scholar Marcel Lepper wants to trace in conversation with Goethe researcher Manfred Osten. Among other things with the question: "Confusing teaching for confusing trade rules over the world".

Is Goethe's justification for sealing the second part of the Faust tragedy still valid and effective? Did Goethe also use it to seal therapeutic hints that need to be reconsidered in times of climate catastrophe?
