Hexenmeister oder Zauberlehrling? Die Wissensgesellschaft in der Krise
What drives us – curiosity, play, or the urge to shape the world?
Alexander Schatten takes us on a journey through the history of knowledge: from hunters and gatherers to modern science and the digital age. As knowledge turns into power, responsibility and doubt grow. Are we wise navigators – or overwhelmed apprentices? Schatten argues that progress is born from contradiction, and that critical thinking, freedom of speech, and the courage to make mistakes are vital for science and an open society.
Moderation: Martin Haidinger (Ö1)
