“…where no one has ever been: home”
2nd Fromm Study Day on Saturday, November 30, 2019 in Ludwigshafen
For some time now, the term “homeland” has once again been the subject of intense thought, writing and discussion – and attempts are once again being made to appropriate it politically. Home is the last word in “The Principle of Hope”, the three-volume magnum opus by Ludwigshafen-born philosopher Ernst Bloch (1885-1977).
Like the social psychologist Erich Fromm (1900-1980), Ernst Bloch also had to leave Germany and go into exile. How close were Fromm and Bloch in their experiences and thinking?
Based on the question of what home meant to these two German-Jewish thinkers, this study day will also offer contributions to the current discussion on the concept of home, which has long been contaminated in Germany. At the same time, we also want to learn to better understand the problems and experiences of today’s migrants and to deal with the renewed attempts by right-wing extremists to claim this term exclusively for themselves.
The event took place on the premises of the Ernst Bloch Center of the City of Ludwigshafen am Rhein, which was also a cooperation partner of the event.
