Prof. Dr. Richard David Precht
Richard David Precht, born in 1964, is a philosopher, publicist and author and one of the most prominent intellectuals in the German-speaking world. He is an honorary professor of philosophy and aesthetics at the Hanns Eisler School of Music in Berlin. His books such as ""Wer bin ich - und wenn ja, wie viele?", "Liebe - ein unordentliches Gefühl" and "Die Kunst, kein Egoist zu sein" are international bestsellers and have been translated into more than 40 languages.
2021 saw the publication of "Von der Pflicht. Eine Betrachtung", followed in April 2022 by "Freiheit für alle. Das Ende der Arbeit wie wir sie kannte". In it, he shows how the change in the world of work is changing our lives, our culture, our idea of education and ultimately society as a whole - and the enormous tasks that lie ahead for politicians, in particular the reorganisation of our social system towards an unconditional basic income.
In 2023, he published " Die vierte Gewalt" together with Harald Welzer. His essay " Das Jahrhundert der Toleranz", published in May 2024, is a plea for a value-led foreign policy and refers to the need for a new world order in times of international crises.
Richard David Precht has hosted the philosophy programme "Precht" on ZDF since 2012. In the ZDF podcast "Lanz & Precht", Richard David Precht and Markus Lanz talk about the socially and politically relevant topics of our time.
