Man turns peoples thinking upside down, his profession philosopher, his name and model account, his motto, dare to know that was pretty bold for back then. Come to was born 300 years ago in what was then called clinic statics. But what he thought is, at least as relevant today as it was in his day, he was not just a sweet river old armchair philosopher. He was very curious about the worlds cult was the 1st person to really work out of you say we should be connected with each other content showing good sense of didnt justice happening in one place on the planet is spelt every way that i should be good and thats exactly why come to so important today. And model accounts developed his ideas into europe, dominated by absolutist rulers in that atmosphere. He demanded, we should think for ourselves. Thats one message, the conscious sending be less afraid, have some courage that was easier said than done one wrong word set against those in power could have drastic consequences. The nothing incomes early life would suggest that he would become one of the most important thinkers in history. Or that his ideas would change philosophy forever. He had humble beginnings, born to a craftsman father and a mother who never attended school. And model was the force of 11 children, soon demonstrated how intelligent he was, which was his opportunity to get ahead of the game. Interestingly, social advancement through talent was always possible, but you had to be brilliant among bathroom, but the, the countries through both school and university for a while he paid for his education that has, among other things, a successful billiards player. But he was especially interested in philosophy, metaphysics, mathematics, natural history, and astronomy. A real poly mass in his studies comforter relied on the power of thought and reason. He firmly believed this different people can enlighten themselves together as a society and couldnt come stay. Critics back was part of the kingdom of prussia with berlin as the capital. Today, its called coming in god, and as in the Russian Federation come to rarely left his hometown. But as the Baltic Trading port, it was well connected with the wide world beyond counts meteoric, rise to intellectual start and began late. At the just 57, he published his magnum, opus the critique of pure reason. It was followed by one best seller after another, making him quite rich and allowing him to move in the highest circles of society. Probably no other philosopher has shaped modern thought as much as he has standing only 1. 57 meters tall. This little man from clinics back is an intellectual giant to many philosophers today. Ill be content to the rest of my life. Incidentally, some of his contemporaries thought content was kind of working. He was someone who woke every morning at a quarter to 5 drink 2 cups of tea and smoked a pipe, todd from 7 to 9, and thought from 9 to a quarter to one. Then he wrote and went for a walk in the afternoon, all at precisely the same time. Every day. During comes lifetime, people were surrounded by authorities, the king, the military, the church. Most people did what they were told, partially out of fear. People were threatened with execution, people was threatened with exile, the people was thrown into prison. I mean this, this happened over france in many places in germany and many places in england. They were just many things that were a lot worse than a twitter storm. So then come to came along a mis authoritarian world and turned human thinking on its head. What he demanded is actually simple but courageous and productive. He said people should use their own minds instead of following instructions separate out a day or 2. No, does the same thing thinking for ourselves is also supposed to get us out of certain comfort zones. We were not allowed to make things easier for ourselves. Nice and many things require us to be discrimination for self critical and for and tumble to teach for the team on the 3rd, according to con, thinking for one self also means debate, discussion and confrontation with other opinions. Good. Now i can tell them about this. Im just taking a closer look at what it actually means to think for ourselves is um and it means examining along with others, whether what we think is right is also tenable. And that is what he means by intel. Conses enlightenment is mans emergence from his self imposed, immature to it maturity. Sure, the lie self imposed is partly our own fault. But the howard is, is certainly furthered by the ruling powers. Also the church, of course. Um and he says the so called guardians, treat the people like the house fee, dumb animals, ok, and dumb animals are tame and theyre much easier to control. And thats of course, a really radical message. The come to observe the story sky and made a fascinating discovery. No, not a new planet. Not even extra terrestrials who he firmly believes exist. Looking into the infinite, into what he called the starry heavens, con cents a 2nd to infinity. One within himself. Something that distinguishes him, the human being from the animals, his moral law. He puts this into a formula that most people may have heard of. The famous categorical imperative. Act only according to that maxim whereby you can at the same time, will that it should become a universal law. Another revolutionary demand. Sure, the concept of considering what our actions mean for other people is not entirely new. What is, is it comp manages without a higher moral authority, and therefore, without god. This mentioned also when we want people to recognize what is wrong and what is wrong on the basis of reason. They should question themselves and not just rely on divine authorities whom be the option. And since then, nothings been the same. A whole system of thought now rests on human reason. Thats a huge responsibility. Kind of gives 3 formulations of the counter core pool imperative. And i think the most important one is to act as if every one is an end in themselves. And that just means never use anybody as a means never instrumental laws, people, okay. Which is actually much harder to follow. The new that it sounds comes the affirmation of Human Dignity was a very political spin on philosophy. The, the world con, lived in, was deeply shaken in 1789 by the french revolution in paris. Some 1700 kilometers away from clinics, that the best steve was stormed and heads rolled, literally in a quest for liberty and a better life. What did come to make of it all . Kinds type, conscious ideals, the fuel, the french revolution, the idea of equality of equal freedoms. The idea of republicanism, the people should also be politically mature and capable of governing themselves, said phil again. Even though count rejected, uprising send for faults, he now bluntly criticized the privileges of the nobility. The paternalism of the church and colonialism. A fair world seemed possible and comp wanted his philosophy to have a practical effect, leading to a better life and freedom. The political consequences can still be observed today. I actually sings the cons. Philosophy is the only basis for a living liberal left the values that we desperately need. Today, were all there in conte on tasks. I believe this is an incredibly demanding legacy, which if we are honest, maybe also shanes is because in many ways we do not live up to this standard. Uh, do some unfortunately get us to thats especially the case in regard to global justice. When it comes to the visual just thing to ruben with and it was supposed to be sort of injustices. The physical forces that come from International Financial institutions that are introduced a new role is me. Now africa and in your voicemail of countries i was led to, to breed deland to grab being corruption and so on. So this is, i mean just is kind of odd you that this is a violation of this. Got to go to the clean power to very few people demonstrating for peace today are likely to know they owe a debt to count who was passionate about preventing war. He was over 70 when he formulated his thoughts on the subject in his essay. Perfect natural peace, the ideas and it were radically modern for 1795. A time when war was the order of the day. Yeah. So its all he bets on treaties between sovereign states, predict, was very progressive for the time, ought to be approved today. We have to recognize that bi lateral treaties are not enough, especially if aside like russia cancels its own treaties overnight. Rather, we need international controls on which is what conte also wanted, and thats come even also moved into and thats an out of control context periods 3 wars in his lifetime and the Russian Occupation of clinics power. He knew what war meant, or the code was most radical about his rising of the demands, the teacher rides, from this ideal of world peace. And from todays point of view, these demands are just as unfulfilled as they were back then that states trust each other to such an extent that they no longer maintain standing armies considered a threat to others. So these are still utopian ideas. Today were probably sure forced in wars have certainly taken place in the years since constance. Yet his ideas sound almost likely how to guide for establishing the United Nations 150 years after his peace proposal. A serious set, at least partially successful, attempt to ensure peace in the world. The comes may have lived in the age of enlightenment. But as he recognized it was not an enlightened age. And he himself was not an enlightened person either as modern as many of his ideas seem to us now. He was blatantly wrong on other points. Humanity has its highest degree of perfection in the white race. Especially disturbing is that in his theory of the alleged human races, cancelling external characteristics with intellectual and moral qualities for him. The american indians, which represents the so called lead race, or in cable culture, that means the, the basically cannot even leave the state of nature. The and then the black race, a capable of only call joe slade, slavery member, the cannot, you know, of as to more advanced the culture and the typical yellow race represented by east indians and chinese among others cannot engage in more advanced the culture cods thinks that only western europeans can have all the talents and drives to keep going as realizing to natalie with respect to, to its more destiny today that way of thinking is completely unacceptable. And it would seem to totally contradict, comes idea of universalism, the idea that Human Dignity is derived from our ability to reason, to his racist statements. Erase comes philosophy and his thinking on justice when he will go to theater. The closest as of the field is according to many conscientious coins. So these are the ideas about 2, this is not quite the better for the waiting look up this. So the cool is was always for level. So we also assume basically want to core medical system, so hes just model that is its a matter of physics. In fact, in his later work, conte advocated equal rights for all people. So did he recount his earlier racist statements that hotly debated among count scholars. It is clear that comes opinions in this matter were firmly rooted in thinking of his type that also applies to his anti semitism. And his disregard for when still as an old man come to meet a radical demand, calling for a right of world citizenship, a global ride, a visitation for all people above all refugees should not be turned away from tech that most of these. And then time contest saw something that unfortunately was no longer accepted as a matter of course in the 20th century. But even namely that every citizen must be allowed to leave their country and seek shelter somewhere else if they are accepted. Not been monday, it would be great if the world would remember that these are things that are actually self evident. That perspective does utopian is cons, ideas of perpetual piece, global citizenship, and just a sound. He was certainly not a dream. On the contrary, he looked very soberly at reality, but he did believe in hope. So the question is how called understood hope. He didnt understand it as a feeling or emotion. He understood it as a moral obligation. Im both are not australasia of practical reason in that if we want to survive, we need hope. Even if sometimes there is nothing to suppose that i mean the worst will happen if we give up hope. Hope is precisely something that you need when you are feeling close to despair. Lets summarize it like this. As long as we dont know that everything is meaningless, like our efforts for justice and peace, we must keep trying according to con. No, that sounds like a pretty good idea. 100 years ago, Josephine Baker found her successes towards europe. But the 1st black superstar ulcer folks against nazis and racism. Berlin is grace, a child. Recall josephine bay 2 and head men once have International Career kicked off on new years eve. 1925 at the nelson theater input in fake advanced wearing a belt of plush bananas, sending up the cliche of an exotic africa of the bananas. From that she uses is on a very interesting level. Very funny. That element of humor always is there what she did at that moment in the 1920s was to present her body without shame. And its beauty. In the sense that all of the naked bodies that we see in the museum in sculptures and paintings, Josephine Baker was born in st. Louis in the United States in 19 o. 6. She danced her way out of prophecy. Just 8 years old, she was washing dishes to support a family for the 1925, they continue to wait to us with the support of, of the patrons. She conquered hans with popular jazz music in charleston dancing. The parents been fun and they told us to achieve fame as an actress in the silent short french film assignments. Hallucinations, the finest buys on dresses with his eyes. Baker marks the situation by pulling faces and even going cross side. She was celebrated by artists and intellectuals of life who unique den style the bakers still inspires offices like john re does it. He lives in berlin and is taking part in a Josephine Baker exhibition at the cities noire enough to an art gallery is originally from hazy and studied architecture in new york is a came across vacant in the seminal on the history of architecture. Auto flus, a pioneer of modern architecture designed to house the there was never a unimportant black eye clinic figure in any of this history. So for me, it became a very interesting link. When i discovered that a conceptual art texture was created, never built for tenants. The same, and so this gave me a great deal of curiosity. Josephine baker has stayed with him ever since. Dessert shows, its one of his pieces in the exhibition of glass painting, a fake. Inspired by his catholic roots in haiti, hes titled as the shrine of the black madonna, number one the this is Josephine Becker and its not just the same vector at the same time. So its, we can say that its this kind of define god is this black, Madonna Baker force in the French Resistance for which she was recognized with the french lead to move on. Though she adopted 12 children and was seen as an icon, a few menissi. Does this piece close on i want to have 12 butterflies here that would, in a religious context, speak about the apostles. And in a, in a historical context, would speak about the 12 children that she adopted from around the world. What we also see here is we see multiple metals that she receives from the call say to force against racism in the United States alongside Martin Luther king. Among others, she sold the supplies as the pinnacle of the personal struggle, one which accompanied her throughout her life. One in strategy that she had is that part of racism, whether its in europe or in america, is to and i saw for the idea that black is ugly. And she certainly made a huge effort to expose this as a lie with the way that she presented herself her hair, her clothing, the way she needs the fit things that she would have around her constantly. It was about Josephine Bates as life beauty and of once again making a brand instance based on the noise. And thats for now gathering and then the or how do you attract a young audience to connect to cool music . The violinist esta are behind me is breaking new ground on social media. Our take talk and Classical Music a good fit. As a problem he says they go together like a hand in glove. The violinist is becoming a Classical Music sensation on social media.

I use it really just as a platform as a way in order to make Classical Music more accessible and, and its also a great way to have the community to build a community of people who have nothing to do with Classical Music and who have kind of festus, sometimes i suppose that the Classical Music abroad me was born in france, but we meet her at her chosen home in manchester. At age 14, a started a Chatham School of music.
