Heraldic animals of the enlightenment: Mole – hare – bat – praying mantis. With Nicola Gründel, Martin Mittelmeier and Martin Stankowski
Philosophising: a mostly solitary undertaking. That is why philosophers always summon sidekicks, and sometimes they wear fur and feathers, have claws and talons. But what do the mole, the rabbit or the bat, for example, bring to the contemplation of reason, freedom or justice? And what traps do Hegel, Marx or Adorno stumble into with their animal metaphors for noble human purposes? Storyteller Martin Stankowski and the historian of philosophy Martin Mittelmeier enlighten us on daredevil cultural techniques such as digging tunnels or playing dead, acquaint us with aesthetic sensoria that we humans would not dare to dream of, and create a delightful spider's web of anecdotes, marvels and cruelties. An adventurous, highly amusing excursion into the bestiary of philosophy. Text: Nicola Gründel
