Although mass prosperity and technological innovations are the fruits of capitalism, many people see it as cold and cynical. However, there is also justified criticism: free markets do not always automatically lead to ethically acceptable results, says the German star philosopher.

My thesis is not that you have an ethics department so that we can regulate your productivity down, but that we want to regulate productivity up by professionally dealing with the ethical questions that arise on a small and large scale. Mr. Government Councillor, Mr. Dean, Your Spectability, Your Magnificence Designatus, dear students, I cannot speak Latin, but these high-ranking personalities must know that much. Dear students, ladies and gentlemen, you are very warmly welcomed here at the University of Lucerne to another lecture with Professor Dr. Markus Gabriel. It is the second lecture, as I said, here on Lake Lucerne by this great philosopher. Last time, the topic was social media and what social media does to us humans. Today, the focus is on what people do in capitalism. In a new, as you can see here, a new ethical capitalism. Professor Markus Gabriel is, as you know, which is why you have come today, one of the most important representatives of contemporary philosophy. He was a co-founder of New Realism, which also includes the new Moral Realism. His entire project runs under the banner of a new enlightenment. For some time now, Markus Gabriel has also been thinking about economic events, about the economic or economic-political constitution of the order in which we live. The economy is not a system designed on the drawing board, but a spontaneous order of its own kind, just like morality. That is the topic of today's lecture, in which my partner Dr. René Scheu, a philosopher with a doctorate in philosophy, and of course also the managing director of the Institute for Swiss Economic Policy (IWP) here at the University of Lucerne, will be speaking. At this point, I would like to thank Markus for coming to Lucerne for the second time. Markus Gabriel is Professor of Epistemology, Modern and Contemporary Philosophy at the University of Bonn and Director of the "Center for Science and Thought" also located there. He is also a visiting professor and a much-heard guest and popular guest speaker at various universities, most recently in Berkeley, Stanford, New York, Oxford and Tokyo. Markus is an incredibly productive thinker. Harvard University Press is soon publishing "Being Wrong," a new, weighty opus that will certainly give rise to much discussion. His most recent works in German are "Man as Animal," and "Sentences upon Sentences: ABC of Waking Thought." The latter is, by the way, an entertaining and enjoyable introduction to his thinking. I am therefore very excited about today's lecture, Markus, and am very happy to hand over to my partner, René, who will give an expert introduction. Ladies and gentlemen, dear Markus, can you hear me? Everything is OK. "Ethical capitalism - a model for the future" is the title of today's lecture by Markus Gabriel, and capitalism is indeed not cold, cynical, or evil. And if it were, could we really tame it, contain it, and thus turn an evil system into a good order with ethics?
