Sind wir zu moralisch, Hanno Sauer? | Sternstunde Philosophie | SRF Kultur

Hanno Sauer, philosophy professor in Utrecht, is currently causing a stir with his book "Morality: The Invention of Good and Evil." Perhaps because the topic is so polarizing? Barbara Bleisch asks the rising star of philosophy whether we're currently overdoing it with morality. Topics in this episode: 00:00 How did morality originate? 10:55 How can moral progress be achieved? 27:35 Why has the term "wokeness" become a slur for some? 41:25 Are we as a society not as polarized as we think? 🔔 Subscribe now to SRF Kultur Sternstunden on YouTube 👉 https://www.youtube.com/srfkultur?sub... The development of human morality has occupied many thinkers: first and foremost, of course, Friedrich Nietzsche in his "Genealogy of Morals," but also Yuval Noah Harari and Rutger Bregman. Hanno Sauer, who is emerging as a new star in public philosophy, has presented another comprehensive global history of our values ​​and norms with his new book. The book is most interesting when it deals with recent history. Despite overheated debates about "wokeness," "virtue terror," and "moralism," Sauer presents a conciliatory tone: He considers the polarization in society merely a "sorting." By and large, he argues, there is agreement on central moral values. Really? Barbara Bleisch follows up and analyzes the moral grammar of the present with the young professor.
