Kamingespräch mit Barbara Bleisch und dem Autor Florian Werner

Aristotle built his philosophical school in a walkway, and Friedrich Nietzsche noted a good two thousand years later: "Only the thoughts that have been given have value." Apparently, walking and philosophizing are closely related. But why can you think so well while hiking? Why do so many people feel that going to the
Nature as comforting? Do you really find yourself at the end of the path - and is getting lost also valuable? Barbara Bleisch and Florian Werner want to explore these and other questions in their fireside chat.
