A new culture of consciousness – how can we get there? Thomas Metzinger on spirituality as a response to our planetary crisis
Can optimism still be considered intellectually honest? Will humanity get its act together in time and step away from modes of living that threaten our planet? Philosopher Thomas Metzinger does not believe so, and is convinced that we are now entering into a long period of failure that will confront every human being with the question of how mental health and dignity can be preserved under these conditions. In his new groundbreaking book Bewusstseinskultur: Spiritualität, intellektuelle Redlichkeit und die planetare Krise, he calls on us to respond to this challenge with a new approach to dealing with world and ego. If we want to develop a new culture of consciousness and overcome greed and envy, we need the best features of all philosophical traditions of humanity, Western philosophy as well as Eastern meditation teachings. Mod.: Jürgen Wiebicke
