History
War, violence, antisemitism, freedom of speech: topics like these still concern us today. They are, however, not new. In three remarkably clear speeches, Jan Philipp Reemtsma analyzes current phenomena by linking them to historical debates and past events. He addresses, along with Christoph Martin Wieland, a conception of enlightenment as ongoing dialogue, the restriction of wartime violence since the Thirty Years' War, as well as the history and present of antisemitism. "In general, problems one encounters in their present are not as new as feared, and often they are feared simply because they are thought to be new." - Jan Philipp Reemtsma Jan Philipp Reemtsma, born November 26, 1952, Prof. Dr. phil., is the founder and chairman of Hamburg Foundation for Supporting Science and Culture and the Arno Schmidt Foundation, as well as the founder and, until March 2015, director of Hamburg Institute for Social Research. His main areas of work include 18th and 20th-century literature, civilization theory, and the history of human destructiveness.
