Hike & Think: How real is reality?
- Hike with lecture elements & discussion
- Max von Sponeck & Carsten Dolbert
- Social Activity
Reality is the result of interpersonal communication, says communication theorist Paul Watzlawick. In fact, most people today are probably aware that an objective reality must be described as an illusion. Recent neurological research has even led to the conclusion that there are more than eight billion realities roaming the planet at the same time. But it is precisely this fact that repeatedly presents us with problems.
The DAI Library’s Philosophy Walks combine important philosophical topics with an extended walk in nature.
Language and communication are ways of understanding the world, but they also form the basis for understanding and cooperation. In times of populist governments, language is also in danger of becoming a powerful tool of division.
Dr. Max von Sponeck is a lecturer at the Department of Philosophy at the University of Heidelberg and at the Heidelberg University of Education. He specializes in the contemporary philosophy of mind.
Carsten Dolbert is a geoscientist by training. He works as a project coordinator, has trained as a systemic counselor and therapist and has been a volunteer in international disaster relief for many years.
