Magische Orte des Denkens

A different approach to philosophy: the genius loci comes to life at 24 special places of thought for the essential existential themes of human existence. Where do we come from? Who are we? The history of ideas ranges from ancient Greece to the existentialist Parisian cafés of the 1950s. But what touches us, makes us strong, frightens or comforts us? Philosophical and literary authors open up perspectives from two and a half millennia. And finally, on our travels we encounter people and animals, plants and things – the world of which we are a part and which we share with others.
