Kursbuch 187

Everything different. Everything new. Change, change, change: where is the world racing towards? Until modern times, mankind has spent a lot of energy on ensuring that as little change as possible takes place. In modern times, however, change is both a virtue and a burden. Virtue, because the world is seen as something that can be shaped and change thus becomes the main task. Burden, because some things change all by themselves and sometimes in a different way than our efforts intend. This coursebook is not another 'change yourself/the world/everything' or 'resist/resist' planner. Rather, it discusses the strange experience that the world shows itself to be more resistant than the ver&aumlnderers would like it to be and that it is nevertheless changing at an ever faster pace. With essays by Michael Lind, Birger Priddat, Stefan Rammler, Irmhild Saake, Hans H&uuml tt, Alfred Hackensberger and others, and an art section by Olaf Unverzart.
