Ethik der Wertschätzung. Tugenden für eine ungewisse Welt
Ethics of Consideration. Virtues for an Uncertain World
The French philosopher Corine Pelluchon (*1967), winner of the Günther Anders Prize for Critical Thinking 2020, develops extremely interesting thoughts on questions of economic, ecological and democratic transformation. It is about the awareness that we belong to a common world and how we can experience this belonging in relation to other beings in such a way that forms of appreciation civilize our desire for domination and control and release energy for meaningful change. Enlightenment (Kant: “the liberation of humanity from its self-inflicted immaturity”) must be rethought for the 21st century.
