THE CORDIALITY OF REASON

Luchterhand - Non-Fiction - Hardcover - October 2017 - 192 pages

Socrates or the happiness of modesty, Voltaire or freedom through tolerance, Kleist or the knowledge of man, terror or the wisdom of law, politics or the praise of slowness: Ferdinand von Schirach and Alexander Kluge talk about fundamental questions of law and society, about theatre and literature, about the dangers of direct democracy and social media and about what actually makes man human.
