In the page's words:

WHAT IS LOGOI?

"LOGOI" is the plural of the Greek word "logos", which expresses the desire to get to the heart of things. The starting point of LOGOI is Ludwig Wittgenstein's insight that, even if all the scientific questions of our time were answered, our real questions of life have not yet been touched. Here, the existentially pressing questions of our time are made the subject of various discourses.

We sense that the world is changing. Against this backdrop, the questions of what meaning we give to the things of life and what we can expect and hope for are becoming more pressing. Questions of this kind have a philosophical core and so LOGOI seeks to open up a discourse that - if successful - leads to deeper and more pertinent insights. LOGOI wants to be a space for clear thoughts. This excludes an esoteric approach to the topics.

The discourse stimulated by LOGOI takes up current as well as classical topics of philosophy and opens up to questions raised by the natural sciences, such as genetic engineering and brain research.

Literature and art also come into focus. The advantage of philosophy is that it addresses the entire spectrum of modern culture and, at the same time, ties in with what touches people in their everyday lives and what is on their minds. The hoped-for gain lies in clarification and deepening.

The questions that concern us include

  • What meaning do we pursue?

  • What expectations determine our lives?

  • How do we shape our interpersonal relationships?

  • How do we resolve our inner and outer conflicts?

  • What do we think about religion?

  • What does morality give us?

  • What can we know?

  • What can we hope for?

LOGOI addresses questions of this kind in seminars, cultural trips and lectures.
