Philosophical Conversations in Hagen

Interviews Following the Hagen Anniversary “Future” Event

On February 13, 2019, the Hagen City Hall hosted the 20th anniversary of the Hagen Future Events, initiated by philosopher Klaudius Gansczyk. Among the participants were Prof. Hartmut Graßl, Prof. Franz Josef Radermacher, and Prof. Ernst Ulrich von Weizsäcker, each attending their third official visit to Hagen in the context of these Future Events. On this occasion, the Mayor of Hagen honored the climate researchers by including them in the Golden Book of the City.

In a conversation with Klaudius Gansczyk, following the anniversary event, Prof. Radermacher discussed his works – “Balance or Destruction,” “World with a Future,” and “Der Milliarden-Joker (The Billionaire-Joker)” – and explored themes such as planetary consciousness, intercultural humanism, world ethics, global governance, worldwide eco-social market economy, and the Alliance for Development and Climate (AEK). He also reflected on values including global justice, peaceful conflict resolution, and sustainability. The interview is available on YouTube:

In the second interview, Klaudius Gansczyk spoke with Prof. Dr. Ernst Ulrich von Weizsäcker, Honorary President of the Club of Rome, also in the aftermath of the anniversary event, about the Club’s anniversary volume “Wir sind dran”. The interview addresses a new, sustainability-oriented enlightenment in light of planetary threats in the Anthropocene, taking into account the diversity of worldviews, ways of thinking, and logic systems worldwide, and is captured on video.
