Part 2: Ethics

The question of a “good life” is also the question of the inner compass that governs our actions: Ethics. How does conscience develop? According to which laws does it act? Where does this inner authority come from and how does it function? Does it have knowledge of what is good and is it capable of placing this knowledge above immediate, personal interests? In view of frightening everyday behaviour on the internet and on the street – wouldn’t ethical action also be a “mastery of the irrational?”

In the Humboldt Laboratory, this cabinet of curiosities of the 21st century, we explore exhibits and approach the topic from different perspectives: a natural and neuroscientific, a humanistic and a theological one. Which values navigate us through everyday life, conflict and living? What happens when values contradict each other, such as freedom and security? And what if it puts us in a dilemma ourselves? We also want to find this out – very concretely and by playing together – and put it into practice. Let us surprise you!

Last but not least, we will trace the traces of attention, listening, exchange and collaboration in music, in a musical encounter between West and East.

With the Director of the Institute for the History of Medicine and Science at the University of Lübeck, Prof Dr Cornelius Borck, the religious researcher Prof Dr Ahmed Milad Karimi (University of Münster), the activist Juliane Baruck (Think&Do Tank Es geht los!), the accordeon player Silke Lange and the sheng-virtuoso Wu Wei.
