Moralischer Fortschritt in dunklen Zeiten

Humanity is capable of moral progress. The crisis of liberal democracy, the pervasive racism, the exploitation of nature, and the spread of populism follow the pattern of a self-dissolution of humanity. The denial of binding values seems to be everywhere. Yet Markus Gabriel, Germany's most renowned contemporary philosopher, encourages us. He demonstrates why there are non-negotiable, universal fundamental values that apply to all people and that we must once again make the basis of our behavior in order to enable a good life for everyone. A philosophical handbook that articulates a blueprint for enlightenment against the value nihilism of our time.

"One of the most important German philosophers of our time" – Süddeutsche Zeitung.
