"Can there be new paths for knowledge and humanity?" Upheavals - Progress - Images of the Future
November 17 and 18, 2023
Meerscheinschlössl of the University of Graz, Mozartgasse 3, 8010 Graz
Our society is in a constant state of change. We are experiencing rapid upheavals when it comes to the new composition of society, artificial intelligence (AI), the future of education, political decisions or "unforeseeable" disasters, changes of increasingly large scale. We are currently confronted predominantly with change resulting from the consequences of warlike conflicts - warlike excesses that have diminished hopes for a new peaceful world.
Unchecked climate change has immediate consequences, and its catastrophic effects will intensify over time. Most importantly, existing inequalities between people are widening, threatening the social cohesion of current and future generations.
Pandemics, wars, energy shortages, crises of democracy and inflation: events are overlapping and there is a condensation of the most diverse crises, which also often make visible what is not working.
What crises mean for people has always occupied thinkers. New attitudes, political decisions or unforeseeable catastrophes are often triggers for change. Changes can be the engine of progress, crises literally force societies to take new paths.
Take a look on the agenda here.
