Barbara Bleisch is discussing at the Philosophical Stammtisch with philosopher Kirsten Meyer from the Humboldt University of Berlin, cultural journalist and philosopher Catherine Newmark and philosopher Stefan Riedener from the University of Zurich. Children are the future of every society. This means that anyone who does not have children is selfish. This attitude was widespread and accepted for centuries. If you follow the current debates in the feature pages, the opposite is true today: having children now seems to require justification. A young Indian has sued his parents because they forced him into life without asking. What sounds like a pubescent outburst of anger has a serious background: supporters of so-called antinatalism see more suffering than joy in life. That is why they think it is better not to be born at all. Climate activists calculate how much a child worsens its parents' ecological footprint and how much CO2 a person emits over the course of their life. Educators criticize that children have to fulfill their parents' unfulfilled wishes and are increasingly becoming lifestyle gadgets. The Bavarian teacher and author Verena Brunschweiger caused a stir with her statement that she is against having children for feminist reasons.
