Jill Philine Blau (ThHF)<\/strong>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]The concept of the commons is currently receiving increased attention both academically and politically. It is discussed as a transformative force that enables a different perspective on socio-ecological and socio-cultural structures beyond the market-state dichotomy. Far from this macro perspective, however, commons are usually very local, sophisticated social structures. Viewing natural resources as common goods\/commons therefore entails a more holistic view of people and their environment. This lecture discusses how and in what form these are strongly linked to concepts of the good life and flourishing, and what potentials arise from this.<\/p>\n<p><em>The lecture will be held in English language.

Every ethics lives from a series of such ideas, each of which inspires us as an ensemble to describe our constant self-transformation, to shape the world and to work with others on corresponding projects.
