Hanno Sauer, professor of philosophy in Utrecht, is currently causing a sensation with his book "Morality: The Invention of Good and Evil". Perhaps because the topic is so polarizing? Barbara Bleisch asks the young star of philosophy whether we are currently overdoing it with morality. Topics in this episode: 00:00 How did morality come about? 10:55 How can moral progress be achieved? 27:35 Why has the term "wokeness" become a swear word for some? 41:25 Are we as a society not as polarized as we think? ???? Subscribe now to SRF Kultur Sternstunden on YouTube ???? https://www.youtube.com/srfkultur?sub... The development of human morality has occupied many thinkers: first and foremost Friedrich Nietzsche in his "Genealogy of Morals", but also Yuval Noah Harari and Rutger Bregman. Hanno Sauer, who is emerging as the new star of public philosophy, has presented another comprehensive global history of our values and norms in his new book. The book is most interesting to read when it deals with recent history. Despite over-excited debates about "wokeness", "virtue terror" and "moralism", Sauer is conciliatory: he believes that the polarization in society is merely a "sorting". On the whole, there is agreement about the central moral values. Really? Barbara Bleisch follows up and analyses the moral grammar of the present with the young professor.
