Nichtwissen und Wissenschaft: Was wir von Sokrates lernen können | Gert Scobel

According to the Oracle of Delphi, there was no one wiser than him. He was considered the talk show host of antiquity, the Markus Lanz of the agora, and he died over two millennia ago from a cup of hemlock. The philosopher Socrates. What remains of him is the insight that knowledge, ignorance, and wisdom are closely intertwined: "I know that I know nothing." – And that knowledge and ignorance always have a political dimension. The great Hannah Arendt further elaborated on this point. And that brings us to the coronavirus crisis: Our lack of knowledge about the virus and how we deal with it also determines wise political action. So, what does engaging with the millennia-old thoughts of Socrates have to do with the coronavirus crisis and the complexities of today's world? That's what this new video is about.
