Panta rhei: What we can learn from Heraclites, Seneca, Marx & Co for our future
Alternative titles and subtitles:
- Philosophy and the future
- What we can learn from history and philosophy for our future
Benefit
It is amazing to find that the ancient philosophers in Greece, Rome or China already knew the essential insights about the characteristics of the future and change and the principles of how to handle them. Many of the methods and insights many a futures researcher tries to tell us are new, are in reality more than 2500 years old.
This speech takes an unspecified but demanding audience on a mental journey into history, past easily comprehensible aphorisms full of wisdom. The relationship to "real" life in the present is clearly established for each key insight. The audience thus learns from history for their own personal future.
