Das Janus-Prinzip
29,00 €
The Roman god Janus can still be a role model for us today. His double look forwards and backwards teaches us that retrospection is also necessary for sustainable progress. Retrospection has a double meaning in this context: it describes looking back into the past as well as looking after his fellow human beings for strengthening social cohesion. For a more detailed description of the Janus principle, historians, philosophers and psychologists have their say, as do writers and artists. In addition, numerous illustrations, examples from novels, poems, fairy tales, films and songs illustrate the topic presented. In the last chapter of the book, Carsten Stahmer sets out concrete guidelines for a sustainable civil society without competitive pressure and state paternalism.
