Der bestirnte Himmel über mir

Two of the most exciting thinkers of our time engage in a conversation about Kant and the spirit of the Enlightenment. How can a philosopher born in 1724 significantly influence our thinking today? Three hundred years after the birth of the old master in Königsberg, Daniel Kehlmann and Omri Boehm meet for a series of discussions about Immanuel Kant that are anything but academically detached. For the founder of modern philosophy himself identified and explained the fundamental questions of human existence: what we can know, what we should do, and what we may hope for. All important topics are addressed: from reason and illusion to racism, colonialism, and enlightenment; from space and time to freedom, art, justice, and the problem of evil; from science to faith, from self to God. Omri Boehm and Daniel Kehlmann treat Kant as a contemporary who can still provide us with important answers to current questions.
