Philo.live! Demokratie verteidigen – was heißt das? Mit Michel Friedman

In the organizer's words:

Some say that the best way to defend democracy is to expand the boundaries of what can be said and treat the AfD like any other party. Others say that the greatest danger to democracy lies precisely in such boundless tolerance. Michel Friedman, himself of Jewish descent, knows very well what crimes against humanity nationalist thinking can lead to. So what if Bertolt Brecht's phrase: "The womb from which this crept is still fertile" were to become topical again right now? On the other hand, how do we deal with the difficulty that a democracy that wants to arm itself against every danger runs the risk of abandoning itself? And: Is the sovereign of democracy, namely the people who live in it, even prepared to fight for it? Friedman's new book "Mensch! Liebeserklärung eines verzweifelten Demokraten" has just been published by Piper. Moderator: Svenja Flaßpöhler
