Book Recommendations: “Mit kühlem Kopf” by Bernward Gesang and “Der Delphi Code” by Thomas Pyczak

Professor Bernward Gesang has published an interesting book with Hanser Verlag titled Keeping a Cool Head – On the Usefulness of Philosophy for the Climate Debate, which delves deeply into the philosophical questions surrounding the climate discussion. In many places, Prof. Gesang presents lines of argument that FAW/n has long supported. This includes, in particular, the advocacy for smart international compensation, attention to cost-benefit aspects, and the potential of the world’s solar deserts.

Interested readers will gain many important insights and can find more detailed information about the book here.

The Delphi Code is another book that will especially appeal to readers interested in the future of artificial intelligence. This novel by Thomas Pyczak focuses primarily on questions of emotion and feeling.
