The right attitude is a status symbol today, says philosopher Philipp Hübl. In his latest book, "Moralspektakel," he writes against virtue-showing while still defending universal values. Can that work? Topics in this episode: 00:00 What does "moralize" mean? 04:30 What does performative morality look like? 10:57 Being a good role model, but only for your own reputation? 22:38 Is it morality or symbolic politics? 32:32 Substitute actions as a result of moral impatience 39:11 How do utopian worldviews lead to polarization? 48:49 How do we create a "better" world? Morality is actually about values ​​and norms and what needs to be done to create a fairer society and world order and to live together peacefully. But when the term "morality" is mentioned today, many people tend to think of the question of whether children are still allowed to dress up as Indians, whether gender equality is necessary and whether monuments to statesmen who were demonstrably involved in colonialism should be removed. Many of these questions have long since become symbolic politics, says philosopher and bestselling author Philipp Hübl. With negative consequences: such debates do not tackle the roots of injustice. Instead, morality is degraded to a spectacle in which most people are more concerned with their own image than with the issue. Is Hübl not throwing the baby out with the bathwater? And what morality is needed if the world is to become more just? Barbara Bleisch meets the philosopher, who is currently being awarded the Tractatus Prize, for a chat.
