From January 14-16, the Züricher Philosophie Festival will take place online on the theme "Hast Du Lust?" ["Do you feel like it?"]. Ivo Wallimann-Helmer will moderate the event "Be a rock! Peace of mind instead of permanent excitement" with Andreas Urs Sommer.

What is it about? Actually, Horace is to blame for everything. If he hadn't formulated his "Carpe Diem" 2000 years ago, we wouldn't have to squeeze the last ounce of pleasure out of every day and wouldn't be in a constant state of stress from fear of missing out on something. Against this unhealthy way of dealing with transience, philosopher Andreas Urs Sommer recommends a good dose of stoic peace of mind. Ivo Wallimann-Helmer wants to know from him how we become a rock in the surf and whether it is not boring to be a rock.

The event will be livestreamed - admission is free. The event will be in German. All information at: https://philosophiefestival.ch/programm/sei-ein-fels-seelenruhe-statt-dauererregung/
