The increasing individualization of our society is a threat to democracy, says political scientist Herfried Münkler, calling for more citizen engagement and less of a "project mentality." We would only get involved in certain projects, and therefore only for a limited time, says Münkler. Are we taking our democracy for granted and thereby undermining it? Are we a society with an eroding center and have therefore lost the measure of what is reasonable, as political scientist Münkler describes in his latest book. What does the future of Swiss democracy look like? In the "Sternstunde Philosophie" (Philosophy Hour), political science professor Herfried Münkler speaks with Richard David Precht about the future development of democracy. This conversation is the second of four that bestselling author and philosopher Precht will have as part of the "Sternstunde Philosophie" (Philosophy Hour). The editorial team gives Precht carte blanche with regard to the choice of his guests and topics. ----- ????
