In the Sternstunde Philosophie on April 25, 2021, the writer Adolf Muschg and Sternstunde presenter Yves Bossart discuss "cancel culture" or what really makes life worth living. Towards the end of the program, around minute 34:00, Adolf Muschg and Yves Bossart talk about contradictions and inconsistent wisdom. In this context, Bossart asks whether our society lacks a certain tolerance for ambiguity. Muschg responds by comparing the so-called "cancel culture" with Auschwitz. Yves Bossart criticizes Muschg's stance, but does not address the inappropriate Auschwitz comparison. Yves Bossart and we regret this very much. We have critically evaluated the incident internally and processed it journalistically. Link to the article: https://www.srf.ch/news/schweiz/cance... ????

He looks back on a long life and says: "The art of living is shown in the art of letting go, of leaving things out." Yves Bossart speaks to the committed intellectual about the art of the good life, the errors of the present and the wisdom of Japanese Zen Buddhism. Adolf Muschg is considered one of the most important living writers. He grew up in Zollikon on Lake Zurich. His difficult childhood, the early death of his father and his mother's depression had a strong influence on him. For Muschg, writing was also an escape into fantasy. Similar to Japan - the country he describes as his "homesick country". The award-winning author was a professor at ETH Zurich and a committed intellectual throughout his life. In 1975 he even ran for the Council of States, supported by Max Frisch and Günther Grass. In conversation with Yves Bossart, the modest grandmaster of literature talks about his difficult childhood, the art of the good life and the wise handling of contradictions.
