Abandoned by every good spirit? - book presentation

Altaussee

Abandoned by every good spirit? The crises of our time and the wisdom of antiquity.

Konrad Paul Liessmann and Michaela Masek in Conversation

In a world shaken by crises, where balance and moderation seem to have disappeared, the two authors advocate for a return to ancient virtues such as wisdom, justice, and the right measure. Although the teachings of ancient wisdom cannot be easily transferred to our time, the remembrance of forgotten life concepts can sharpen our view of our circumstances.

On an evening full of thought-provoking insights, Michaela Masek and Konrad Paul Liessmann take a critical look at our present society, showing why old values are more relevant today than ever – and how they can give us direction, attitude, and humanity back. A plea for intellectual self-development!

Furthermore, the authors provide insight into their current new releases and offer the opportunity for personal exchange during the subsequent signing session.
