	Ancient Philosophy and Modern Freedom in Times of Crisis	Mon, 21.11.2022	Seminars and Colloquia	Carlos Fraenkel Ludger Hagedorn		Ancient Philosophy and Modern Freedom in Times of Crisis Mon, 21.11.2022 Speakers: Carlos Fraenkel Ludger Hagedorn Series: Seminars and Colloquia Can we learn something from ancient philosophy? Yes, Carlos Fraenkel argued, a great deal. Since the Soviet Bloc crumbled, more people than ever are free to live as they please. What liberal societies fail to teach us is how to make good use of all that choice. The last few years have thrown us into ever-growing confusion: extreme weather, populist upheaval, billionaires buzzing through space juxtaposed with capsized migrant dinghies washing up on shores, war in Europe, etc. The ancients, Fraenkel argues, can help us fix the mess.

	Belarusian Protests: In Search of Democracy, or the Restructuring of State Institutions	Mon, 07.12.2020	Seminars and Colloquia	Ludger Hagedorn Marci Shore Pavel Barkouski		Belarusian Protests: In Search of Democracy, or the Restructuring of State Institutions Mon, 07.12.2020 Speakers: Ludger Hagedorn Marci Shore Pavel Barkouski Series: Seminars and Colloquia For more than 100 days in Minsk, citizens’ protests against the authorities, which falsified the results of the last presidential elections, have not subsided. Forms of suppression unprecedented in Europe – violence and brutality against protesters – have forced many citizens to reconsider their attitude to what is happening. If initially the protest was inspired by the desire to establish democratic mechanisms for the change of power, we are now talking about a more basic level of relations within the framework of the social contract. Citizens insist on a return to the meaning of constitutional rights. Read more

	Capitalism on Edge	Mon, 29.03.2021	Lecture	Albena Azmanova Ludger Hagedorn Wolfgang Merkel		Capitalism on Edge Mon, 29.03.2021 Speakers: Albena Azmanova Ludger Hagedorn Wolfgang Merkel Series: Lecture Albena Azmanova’s new book Capitalism on Edge puts precarity at the root of such social pathologies as the rise of populism and the inability of liberal democracies to effectively manage crises.
