Vom Nutzen ungelöster Probleme

The topic of the conversations between Dirk Baecker and Alexander Kluge is the question of which theoretical means can be used to approach the challenges of everyday life, which derives its continuation from the sum of smaller and larger failures. Every intelligence compensates for a collapse. A corporation, a marriage, a battle, or a perception are only possible because they repeatedly attempt to solve problems that cannot be solved. An old therapist's wisdom also suggests that it is better to nurture problems than to solve them, as this way one at least knows where one stands. This wisdom is followed in these conversations to explore phenomena from corporate management to marriage, battle, and the perception of consciousness in terms of their unlikely and thus successful reproduction. Thoughts from Heinz v. Foerster.
