Yes, I think, you know, I've been talking about this, the arts and the science, this kind of very weird division for a long time.
And I find it quite hard to understand why it's still, you know, I mean, when I look at,
you know education like six year olds get put into these kind of boxes oh you were kind of so mathematical and logical and you were so artistic and creative and you know that's it you're basically you know you're going to be a scientist and you're going to be an artist and you think that it really comes together and works together you know curiosity imagination part of you know the arts and sciences I think so I think that experiment kind of pretty much failed
and but i think you know and if the self has remained for the better or the worse at center stage of our life um it's definitely you know it's it's you know that we still have this kind of tension between
free will and self-determination on the one side and not being selfish and narcissistic on the other side.
It's a balancing act which began back then and which we are still walking.
And I think underpinning this are two crucial questions.
One is, who am I as an individual
And who am I as a member of a society?
So how can I live a life in which I fulfill my dreams and my opportunities, possibilities, capabilities with...
the kind of, you know, being a morally good person with the kind of restraints of society and, and it's a negotiation, which we still kind of do.
And, you know, and I think it's, I mean, we undoubtedly live in a in a society that is obsessed with the self.
I mean, there's a whole generation called the Mies generation.
And I think
you know, we kind of circle around ourselves, but we've kind of forgotten where this came from.
And, you know, when Fichte put the self in the center of his philosophy, he never, you know, he never wanted this kind of narcissistic kind of celebration of the self, because he always said that freedom comes always with our moral duty.
You know, our freedom is only
as far as we are not impinging on someone else's duty.
Freedom gives us this
you know, the power of the choice, how to be and how to act.
