Philosophischer Salon - WGT Special: Über Befremdung und Provokation - Denkanstöße am Rande des Vertrauten

In the organizer's words:

For the WGT special, the philosophical practitioners Jirko Krauß (Leipzig), Johanna Kosch (Stuttgart) and Stefanie Rieger (Graz) will briefly introduce the topic and then enter into a discussion with the guests.

Whether horror thriller or state of intoxication, whether extreme sport or body mod, whether performance art or excess: what is not commonplace is alienating. But at the same time, this provocation stimulates us and we passionately expose ourselves to it again and again.

At the edge of the familiar, our thoughts and feelings are put to the test: When is enough of the strange enough and how do we deal with it? How alien are we to ourselves? When does the strange leave us changed? When is it just a sensation that affects us in the short term? And when is living with the strange a life change?

Together we will philosophize about crossing borders, self-transformation and 'mere' sensationalism.
