At this year’s Empathy Conference, experts including cultural scientist Aleida Assmann will examine the topic of public spirit from various perspectives; at the Virtuality vs. Reality symposium, Heidelberg philosopher Thomas Fuchs and writer Doris Dörrie will discuss how the rapid pace of digitalization is blurring the boundaries between the real and virtual worlds.
