Philip Kovce in conversation with Harald Welzer on Monday, November 4, 2024 at Unternehmen Mitte in Basel War and peace - these terms, which have become somewhat dusty since the two world wars, are particularly topical again, not least in view of Ukraine and Gaza. Are we currently experiencing a turning point - away from the old post-war era and towards a new pre-war or war era? Is the militarization of public discourse, including the condemnation of pacifism and neutrality, a sign of this? And what actually motivates people to go to war - or not to do it?
