Writing on a white door: Selbstlernraum. Below a sign with opening hours. University Cologne, Germany.
You can listen to me speak about „Selbstdenken“ (self thinking) today - a term Hannah Arendt borrowed from Lessing. With this term, both did not mean to signify a retreat into an isolated “self“, but rather a “thinking with others“.
One can learn by oneself - but one cannot think alone! #dgska2025
Leaving Cologne and #DGSKA2025 full of ideas and #anthropological excitement. Wonderful to see old friends and meet new people - and look forward to continuing the conversation on un/commoning!
