Sozialphilosophie- Prof Dr Matthias Schloßberger

Prof. Dr Matthias Schloßberger

Sozialphilosophie deals with a broad spectrum of questions and problems, all of which are rooted in the question "What is man?".

Humans are embodied social beings who express themselves. The expressive movements of their lived bodies allow them to understand each other.

They understand each other, i.e. they understand the intentions and feelings of Others. Sometimes they judge, act and feel together. They judge how they treat Others, how they judge Others and how they participate in the feelings of Others. They organize their joint lives in order to deal with the ever-changing challenges of living together. Doing so, they develop ideas about successful and less successful forms of coexistence.

All of the issues addressed here are connected: They lead towards a philosophy that is based on the insight that they cannot be dealt with in isolation because everything is interrelated: political theory, ethics, philosophy of history, theory of intersubjectivity, anthropology and critique.
