Die Kunst, Fehler zu machen

You get wise from experience, as the saying goes. Without mistakes and errors there is no development. The current zero-error culture, however, finds it difficult to accept errors. Until now, man as a "fragile being in the fragile institution of the world" has relied primarily on experience to correct and limit his mistakes and errors. In view of the rapid growth of abstract knowledge before the horizon of virtual worlds, it is difficult to have sensual experiences. As a result, coping with mistakes is increasingly becoming an overtaxing task. Does the "antiquated" human being mutate in a "zero-defect culture" into the biggest accident and risk factor to be assumed? Is that why people work tirelessly to perfect them? Manfred Osten poses the fundamental question of the relativity of our rationally oriented Western understanding of error.
