Einmal, zweimal, keinmal - Wie Erfahrungen unser Leben und unsere Politik prägen

In the organizer's words:

The guests are Dr. Robert Habeck and Prof. Dr. Fritz Breithaupt.

Why do some experiences shape us for a lifetime - and others hardly at all? What do we actually learn from what we experience? And what role do experiences play in political decisions?

Dr. Robert Habeck, former Vice-Chancellor, and Prof. Dr. Fritz Breithaupt, literature and cognitive scientist, talk about how experiences shape our thoughts, decisions and actions - in everyday life as well as in politics. Together they will explore the question of what we learn from experience and why we often fail to do so.

The starting point for the evening is Breithaupt's new book "Einmal, zweimal, keinmal. How we make experiences", which will be published on May 19. In it, he shows how much our thinking is determined by initial experiences, repetitions and even imagined experiences - and why experiences have so far received surprisingly little attention in science.

Afterwards, there will be an opportunity for questions from the audience.

The event is being held in cooperation with Suhrkamp Verlag.
