WDR 5 Philosophie spezial – Denken, das ansteckt „Erkenne dich selbst“ – wofür wir verantwortlich sind. Mit u.a. Aleida Assmann, Susanne Boshammer, Kersten Reich, Gert Scobel

The famous inscription at the entrance to the ancient temple of Delphi, the place of worship where the oracle was consulted, reminds us to this day of the importance of self-reflection. The appeal to recognize ourselves is a loving reminder to take time for inner clarification before we shape our outer world. Let's take a step back together to counter the heated debates, misinformation, superficial arguments and mutual recriminations with a day of reflection. Let's pause and take a deep breath to reorganize ourselves. Because before we face up to the problems of the present, we should ascertain our attitude towards them. Where do we stand as individuals in this world, what are our duties and responsibilities, and how do we deal with them?
WDR 5 asks listeners about the responsibility of the individual in order to be able to work together in the present. Mail to philo@wdr.de. Moderated by: Anja Backhaus, Carolin Courts, Ralph Erdenberger, Elif Şenel and Jürgen Wiebicke, edited by: Gundi Große
