Was bleibt? Zum Erbe der Aufklärung(-spraxis)

In the organizer's words:

with Corine Pelluchon, Barbara-Stollberg Rilinger

Moderation: Kai-Michael Sprenger and Julia Voss

Human rights were formulated in the 18th century, but the universalism formulated on paper failed to be implemented for everyone. This ambivalence and the various facets of the era shine through to us in the 21st century and raise questions: How does Enlightenment stand up in today's political discourses? What constitutes the legacy of Enlightenment (practice)? If we see Enlightenment as a process that continues to have an impact in the present, how can we think of a "new Enlightenment"?

Berlin Wednesday Society
Discussion series

We are reviving the historical format of the Berlin Wednesday Society on five dates. As in the Age of Enlightenment, the focus will be on discussing socio-political issues: what progress, ambivalences and contradictions are visible when looking back that still characterize our society today?

In cooperation with the Foundation Places of German Democratic History
