Über Trump, Philosophie und die neuen Popstars (Hans Ulrich Gumbrecht, Stanford)

Why was Donald Trump elected as the new US president? And how dangerous is he really for all of our security? Why do people enjoy watching sports? What is it like to work on the campus of Stanford University in California? Hans Ulrich Gumbrecht from Stanford University (USA) and Kathrin Fischer, press spokesperson for the European University of Flensburg (Germany), discuss these and many other questions in a very entertaining way. The scientist, who has been awarded ten honorary doctorates, also gives us very personal insights into his life and work in California—and tells us how he became an American citizen.
