Berliner Mittwochsgesellschaft

"The state of peace among people living side by side is not a natural state," wrote Kant in 1795 in his essay "On Perpetual Peace." Peace must be "established."


But what does it mean to establish peace? Is a stable peace between people possible, what would be the basic conditions for this? How peaceful was the Enlightenment? And which ideas and methods of the Enlightenment on the question of peace can people build on in today's times?


  • Berlin Wednesday Society with Astrid Deuber-Mankowsky, Thomas Khurana and Volker Gerhardt
  • Moderation: Kai-Michael Sprenger and Julia Voss

Berlin Wednesday Society discussion series

On five dates, they will revive the historical format of the Berlin Wednesday Society. As in the time of the Enlightenment, the focus is on exchanging ideas about socio-political topics: When we look back, what progress, ambivalences and contradictions can be seen that continue to shape society today?


In cooperation with the Foundation Places of German Democratic History
