Barbara Bleisch trifft

Hartmut Rosa is certainly one of the best-known sociologists of our time. His book on «Resonance» has made the Jena professor and director of the Max Weber College in Erfurt famous worldwide and a bestselling author. Rosa understands resonance as a relationship with fellow human beings and the environment that allows for change and development and in which the unavailable retains its place. While goods can be manufactured, ordered or returned, friendship, relaxation or contentment, for example, are not goods that can be produced, but only received. However, in our fast-paced world, in which we are primarily in demand as consumers and workers, there is often little time for experiencing resonance, and the unavailable gives way to ordering at the push of a button.

Hartmut Rosa kicks off the fourth season of the «Barbara Bleisch trifft» discussion series. The philosopher invites the sociologist to talk about time poverty, fear of descent and Fomo, about the miracle of snow and the power of humility.

“Honest, open dialogue has become precarious,” says the well-known philosopher Barbara Bleisch. After three successful years, the intensive discussions with inspiring personalities on topics that drive society are entering their next edition. Once again, the stage belongs to Barbara Bleisch four times a year. Each time, she meets an inspiring personality of her choice from the worlds of culture, politics, art and science to discuss current affairs. In 90-minute conversations, uncomfortable topics are addressed and questions are brought to a close – fabulously, honestly and without spectacle.
