Was ist Aufklärung? Fragen an das 18. Jahrhundert
In the organizer's words:
"What is enlightenment?" asked the Berlin pastor Johann Friedrich Zöllner in an article for the Berlinische Monatsschrift in 1783. The magazine posed the question to its readers, initiating a debate about the term that shaped the history of philosophy. The exhibition takes up the question and focuses on the important debates of the era. It takes account of the contradictions and ambivalences by presenting the ideas of this era not as a homogeneous project of progress, but by making conflicts over concepts and demands visible. It becomes clear that the ideas of equality or tolerance did not always correspond to today's ideas and were often not realized in practice. The search for knowledge and the new science, questions about religion, equality and freedom of people and demands for civil rights through to mercantilism and cosmopolitanism - the exhibition looks at these themes of the so-called "long 18th century" from an international perspective.
