In this book, Jürgen Wiebicke describes how philosophy can help us overcome emotional vertigo.
We are currently in the midst of a variety of crises, from the war in Europe to climate catastrophe and the consequences of the pandemic. All this is affecting our attitude towards life; many people feel like their comfort zone and private lives are under threat from all sides, provoking fear, anger and helplessness.
It is precisely in times of crisis that philosophy has had its finest hours, and Jürgen Wiebicke analyzes our current situation with the help of great thinkers such as Montaigne, Arendt, Jaspers and Sartre. A comforting book that shows that there is a remedy for fear: thinking.
