Barbara Bleisch

In the organizer's words:

• The middle of life
• A philosophy of the best years
• Lecture

At some point in life, many things are decided: who we love, where we work, how we live. Some are happy to have arrived. Others are afraid of getting stuck in a life full of routines and wonder if that's it. How do we find new goals in life when much has been achieved? How do we deal with the fact that time horizons are slowly narrowing and some trains have now left the station? In her new book, Barbara Bleisch reflects on life experience, lightness and serenity in a philosophically sound way and full of references from everyday life. She counters the cliché of the midlife crisis with a philosophy of midlife that leads us into the existential questions of our decades as adults - and into the best time of our lives.

Barbara Bleisch, born in 1973, lives with her family in Zurich and is a member of the Ethics Center at the University of Zurich. She has hosted the program Sternstunde Philosophie on Swiss Radio and Television SRF since 2010. From 2017 to 2019, she was an academic guest at the Collegium Helveticum.
