The philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche spent nine summers in Sils Maria in Switzerland before suffering a mental breakdown in 1889. Today, the Nietzsche House in Sils is run as a museum. Nietzsche gained some of his most important insights in Sils Maria. Among them was the idea of ​​eternal recurrence, developed in the influential work "Thus Spoke Zarathustra". Olivia Röllin follows in the footsteps of Friedrich Nietzsche, the controversial thinker and radical critic of religion and morality.

Switzerland is and has always been the birthplace of groundbreaking ideas. Friedrich Nietzsche experienced intellectual flights of fancy in Sils Maria, the famous Enlightenment thinker Jean-Jacques Rousseau was persecuted for his revolutionary ideas and fled to St. Peter's Island, the radical thinker Jeanne Hersch provoked the people of Geneva with her ideas and became known as the "female Socrates", and Martin Heidegger argued with Ernst Cassirer about the future of thought not far from Mann's "Magic Mountain". The "Sternstunde" moderators Barbara Bleisch, Olivia Röllin, Yves Bossart, Wolfram Eilenberger and Milad Karimi go criss-crossing Switzerland in search of the remains of philosophical greats. ____________________ Moderation: Barbara Bleisch: / barbarableisch Yves Bossart: / bossart_yves Wolfram Eilenberger: http://www.wolfram-eilenberger.de/ Olivia Röllin: / oliviaroellin Ahmad Milad Karimi: / donkarimi ____________________ Social Media Netiquette from SRF: ► https://www.srf.ch/social-netiquette #SRFKultur #SRFKulturSternstunden #SRFSternstunde #Philosophie #Denkorte #nietzsche #alpen #spaziergang #wiederkunft #SRF #Kultur 💬 Do you have any questions, suggestions or criticism?
