Sokrates reloaded – Wie man durch ein philosophisches Leben die Angst vor fast allem verliert. Mit Agnes Callard

In the organizer's words:

2500 years ago, a man came to the conclusion that confronting the fundamental and seemingly unanswerable questions of life was the best thing that had ever happened to him. He believed that a life that openly confronts these questions and gets to the bottom of them in conversations with others is not just for self-proclaimed intellectuals - but for everyone. Agnes Callard resurrects Socrates and shows how to lose the fear of almost everything through a philosophical life: she dusts off his greatest ideas for our present day and illustrates how we can lead a good life following his example, one that does not freeze in fear of the big questions of life. "Charming, intelligent ... Socrates encourages us to recognize how little we know and to start thinking" (THE NEW YORK TIMES). Translated by Sarah King, moderated by Wolfram Eilenberger
