Gelingendes Leben in einer unsicheren Welt

This book is a philosophical journey through an uncertain world. Rainer Zech designs an ethics that should enable us to deal successfully with the current crises of contemporary society: Climate change, financial crises, terrorism, democratic crises, virus pandemics. He justifies the transition from the common ethics of work to an all-encompassing ethics of life. From the necessary uncertainty of life as well as the fluidity and processual change of the human self, the challenges and tasks are derived that must be met by ethically responsible action, which not only has its own dignity in mind, but the dignity of all living things. The book culminates with a reflection on a successful life as the goal of ethics and deals with the greatest uncertainty of life, death, and how a successful dying could be possible. This is garnished with the unity of the true, the good and the beautiful, which is existential for a good life.
