It has always been the birthplace of groundbreaking ideas. Friedrich Nietzsche experienced intellectual highs in Sils Maria, the renowned Enlightenment thinker Jean-Jacques Rousseau was persecuted for his revolutionary ideas and fled to St. Peter's Island, the radical thinker Jeanne Hersch provoked the people of Geneva with her ideas and became known as the "female Socrates," and Martin Heidegger debated the future of thought with Ernst Cassirer not far from Mann's "Magic Mountain." The "Sternstunde" hosts Barbara Bleisch, Olivia Röllin, Yves Bossart, Wolfram Eilenberger, and Milad Karimi embark on a quest to trace the legacy of these philosophical giants across Switzerland. ____________________ Moderation: Barbara Bleisch:   / barbarableisch   Yves Bossart:   / bossart_yves   Wolfram Eilenberger: http://www.wolfram-eilenberger.de/ Olivia Röllin:   / oliviaroellin   Ahmad Milad Karimi:   / donkarimi   ____________________ SRF's Social Media Netiquette: ► https://www.srf.ch/social-netiquette #SRFCulture #SRFCultureHighlights #SRFSternstunde #Philosophy #PlacesOfThought #Rousseau #Nature #Property #SRF #Culture 💬 Do you have any questions, suggestions, or feedback?
