man turns people's thinking upside down, his profession philosopher, his name and my new account, his motto, dare to know that was pretty bold for back then. count was born 300 years ago in what was then called clinics, panic. but what he thought is, at least as relevant today as it was in his day, he was not just a c river road arm chair philosopher. he was very curious about the world called was the 1st person to really work out of you say we should be connected with each other content. so in the sense that in justice happening in one place on the planet is spelled every way. and that's exactly why contests so important today. and model account developed his ideas into europe, dominated by absolutist rulers in that atmosphere. he demanded,
8:32 am
we should think for ourselves that's one message, the conscious sending be less afraid, have some courage that was easier said than done. one wrong word set against those and power could have drastic consequences. the nothing in comes early life would suggest that he would become one of the most important thinkers in history, or that his ideas would change philosophy forever. he had humble beginnings, born to a craftsman father and the mother who never attended school. and model was the force of 11 children, soon demonstrated how intelligent he was, which was his opportunity to get ahead of the game. interestingly, social advancement through talent was always possible. but you had to be brilliant in one bedroom, but the, the
8:33 am
countries through both the school and university for a while he paid for his education that has, among other things, a successful billiards player. but he was especially interested in philosophy, metaphysics, mathematics, natural history, and astronomy, a real poly mass in his studies, comfortable light on the power of thought and reason. he firmly believed this different people can enlighten themselves together as a society and couldn't come stay. critics back was part of the kingdom of prussia with berlin as the capital. today it's called coming in god, and as in the russian federation come to rarely left his hometown, but as a baltic trading port, it was well connected with the wide world beyond con, smitty, york rise to intellectual start and began late at the age of 57 he published his
8:34 am
magnum, opus the critique of pure reason. it was followed by one best seller after another, making him quite rich and allowing him to move in the highest circles of society. probably no other philosopher has shaped modern thought as much as he has. standing only 1.57 meters tall. this little man from critics back is an intellectual giant to many philosophers today. i'll be content to the rest of my life. incidentally, some of his contemporaries but can't, was kind of quirky. he was someone who woke every morning at a quarter to 5 drink 2 cups of tea and smoked a pipe. todd from 7 to 9, and start from 9 to a quarter to one. then he wrote and went for a walk in the afternoon, all at precisely the same time. every day. during comes lifetime, people were surrounded by authorities, the king, the military,
8:35 am
the church. most people did what they were told, partially out of fear. people were threatened with execution, people was threatened with exile, the people was thrown into prison. i mean this, this happened over france in many places in germany and many places in england. they were just many things that were a lot worse than a twitter storm. so then come to came along a mis authoritarian world and turned human thinking on its head. what he demanded is actually simple but courageous and productive. he said people should use their own minds instead of following instructions separate out a day or 2. no, does the same thing thinking for ourselves as also suppose to get us out of certain
8:36 am
comfort zones. we were not allowed to make things easier for ourselves. nice and many things require us to be discrimination for self critical and for and tumble, to teach it for the team or the that according to con, thinking for one self also means debate, discussion and confrontation with other opinions. good. now i can tell them, does this, i can be taking a closer look at what it actually means to think for ourselves is um and it means examining along with others, whether what we think is right is also tenable. and that is what he means by intel comes, says enlightenment is man's emergence from his self imposed, immature take it maturity, sure. the lie self imposed. it's partly our own fault.
8:37 am
but the howard is, is certainly furthered by the ruling powers. also the church, of course, um and he says the so called guardians treat the people like the house fee, dumb animals. ok, and dumb animals are tame and they're much easier to control. and that's of course, a really radical message. the come to observe the story sky and made a fascinating discovery. no, not a new planet. not even extra terrestrials who he firmly believes exist. looking into the infinite, into what he called the starry heavens, con cents a 2nd to infinity. one within himself. something that distinguishes him, the human being from the animals, his moral law. he puts this into
8:38 am
a formula that most people may have heard of. the famous categorical imperative. act only according to that maxim whereby you can at the same time, will that it should become a universal law. another revolutionary demand. sure, the concept of considering what our actions mean for other people is not entirely new, but is, is a comp manages without a higher moral authority. and therefore, without god this mention of when we want people to recognize what is wrong and what is wrong on the basis of reason. they should question themselves and not just rely on divine authorities whom be the option. and since then, nothing's been the same. a whole system of thought now rests on human reason. that's a huge responsibility. kind of gives 3 formulations of the counter core pull imperative
8:39 am
. and i think the most important one is to act as if every one is an end in themselves. and that just means never use anybody as a means never instrumental laws, people, okay. which is actually much harder to follow. the new that it sounds counts affirmation of human dignity was a very political spin on philosophy. the, the world cons, lived in was deeply shaken in 1789 by the french revolution in paris, some 1700 kilometers away from clinics. that the best steve was stormed and heads rolled, literally in a quest for liberty and a better length. what did come to make of it all kinds, type conscious ideals, the fuel, the french revolution, the idea of a quantity of equal freedoms. the idea of republicanism,
8:40 am
the people should also be politically mature and capable of governing themselves, said phil again. even though count rejected, uprising send for folks, he now bluntly criticized the privileges of the nobility. the paternalism of the church and colonialism. a fair world seemed possible and comp wanted his philosophy to have a practical effect, leading to a better life and freedom. the political consequences can still be observed today. i actually sings the cons. philosophy is the only basis for a living liberal left the values that we desperately need. today, we're all there in conte on tasks. i believe this is an incredibly demand thing like to see, which if we are honest, maybe also shane's is because in many ways we do not live up to this standard and
8:41 am
do some unfortunately get us together. that's especially the case in regard to global justice. when it comes to the visual, just being the global north and it was supposed to be is out of injustices. the physical for this is up come from international financial institutions that i've introduced a new role is me now africa and in your, your voicemail of countries i was led to, to breed the line, to grab being corruption and so on. so this is, i mean just is con, told you that this is a violation of this. got to go to the clean power to the very few people demonstrating for peace today are likely to know they owe a debt to count who was passionate about preventing war. he was over 70 when he formulated his thoughts on the subject in his essay per actual peace. the ideas and
8:42 am
it were radically modern for 1795. a time when war was the order of the day. yeah. so it's all he bets on treaties between sovereign states. we did was very progressive for the time, ought to be approved today. we have to recognize that bi lateral treaties are not enough. especially if aside like russia cancels its own treaties overnight. rather, we need international controls on which is what conte also wanted, and that's come even also moves that internet sonata control context periods 3 wars in his lifetime and the russian occupation of clinics that he knew what war meant already covered was most radical about his rising up the demands of the teacher, ronald's, from his ideal of world peace. and from today's point of view, these demands are just as unfulfilled as they were back then that states trust each other to such an extent that they no longer maintain standing armies considered
8:43 am
a threat to others. so these are still utopian ideas. today we're publish it forced in wars have certainly taken place in the years since constance. yet his ideas sound almost likely how to guide for establishing the united nations. 150 years after his peace proposal. a serious set, at least partially successful, attempt to ensure peace in the world. the comes may have lived in the age of enlightenment. but as he recognized it was not an enlightened age. and he himself was not an enlightened person either as modern as many of his ideas seemed to us now. he was blatantly wrong on other points. humanity has its highest degree of perfection in the white race. especially disturbing is that in his theory of the alleged human races, counseling external characteristics with intellectual and moral qualities for him,
8:44 am
they, american indians which represent the so called lead race or in cable culture, that means the, the basically cannot even leave the state of nature. the and then the black race a capable of only cato slate slavery name, but they cannot, you know, at the, vast to more advanced the culture. and that's what the yellow race represented by east indians and chinese, among others, cannot engage in more advanced the culture cods thinks that only western europeans can have all the talents and drives to keep going as realizing to natalie with respect to, to it's more destiny today. that way of thinking is completely unacceptable, and it would seem to totally contradict, comes idea of universalism. the idea that human dignity is derived from our ability
8:45 am
to reason, do his racist statements erase comes philosophy and his thinking on justice. when we go to theater, the closest as of the field is according to many conscientious coins. so these are the ideas about 2, this is not quite the better for the waiting look at this. so the core was, was always for level. so we also assume basically want to core medical assistance, so he's just model yet essex the physics. in fact, in his later work, conte advocated equal rights for all people. so did he recount his earlier racist statements that hotly debated among come scholars. it is clear that comes opinions in this matter were firmly rooted in the thinking of his type that also applies to his anti semitism. and his disregard for when still as an old man come to meet a radical demand, calling for a right of world citizenship, a global ride,
8:46 am
a visitation for all people above all refugees should not be turned away from tech that most of these. and then time contest saw something that unfortunately was no longer accepted as a matter of course in the 20th century. but even namely that every citizen must be allowed to leave their country and seek shelter somewhere else if they are accepted . not been monday, it would be great if the world would remember that these are things that are actually self evident. the percentage does utopian is cons, ideas of perpetual peace, global citizenship, and just a sound. he was certainly not a dream. on the contrary, he looked very soberly at reality, but he did believe in hope. so the question is how called understood hope. he didn't understand it as a feeling or emotion. he understood it as a moral obligation. i'm booked australasia of practical reason in that if we want
8:47 am
to survive, we need hope. even if sometimes there is nothing to support that. i mean the worst will happen if we give up hope. hope is precisely something that you need when you are feeling close to despair. let's summarize it like this. as long as we don't know that everything is meaningless, like our efforts for justice and peace, we must keep trying according to con. no, that sounds like a pretty good idea. 100 years ago, josephine baker found her success towards europe. but the 1st black superstar ulcer folks against nazis and racism. berlin is grace, a child. recall josephine baker and head men once have international career kicked off on new year's eve. 1925 at the nelson theater input in fake advanced wearing a belt of plush bananas. sending up the cliche of an exotic africa,
8:48 am
of the bananas from that she uses is on a very interesting level. very funny. that element of humor always is there what she did at that moment in the 1920s was to present her body without shame and its beauty. in the sense that all of the naked bodies that we see in the museum in sculptures and paintings, josephine baker was born in st. louis in the united states in 19 o. 6. she danced her way out of prophecy. just 8 years old, she was washing dishes to support a family for the 1925, they continue to wait to us with the support of one of the patrons. she conquered hans with popular jazz music in charleston dancing. the parents been been in they too also chief fame as an actress in the sonic short french whom assignments

hallucinations, the finest price on dresses with his eyes. baker marks the situation by pulling faces and even going cross side. she was celebrated by artists and intellectuals of life who unique den style the baker's still inspires offices like john re does it. he lives in berlin and is taking part in a josephine baker exhibition at the cities noire enough to an art gallery is originally from hazy and studied architecture in new york is a came across vacant in the seminal on the history of architecture. auto flus, a pioneer of modern architecture designed to house the there was never a unimportant black eye clinic figure in any of this history. so for me, it became a very interesting link when i discovered that
8:50 am
a conceptual art sector was created, never built for tenants. the same, and so this gave me a great deal of curiosity. josephine baker, who stayed with him ever since dessert shows, it's one of his pieces in the exhibition, a gloss painting, a fake. inspired by his catholic roots in haiti, he's titled as the shrine of the black madonna, number one the this is josephine becker and it's not just the same vector at the same time. so it's, we can say that it's this kind of define god is this black, madonna baker force in the french resistance for which she was recognized with the
8:51 am
french lead to move on. she adopted 12 children and was seen as an icon. a few menissi does this piece close on i want to have 12 butterflies here that would, in a religious context, speak about the apostles. and in a, in a historical context, would speak about the 12 children that she adopted from around the world. what we also see here is we see multiple metals that she receives from the call say to force against racism in the united states along side martin luther king. among others she sole despise as the pinnacle of the personal struggle, one which accompanied her throughout her life. one in strategy that she had is that part of racism, whether it's in europe or in america,
8:52 am
is to and i saw for the idea that black is ugly. and she certainly made a huge effort to expose this as a lie with the way that she presented herself her hair, her clothing, the way she needs the fit things that she would have around her constantly. it was about you josephine bye cuz life views the end of once again. making a brand instance based on the noise and that's for now. and then the a how do you attract a young audience to connect to cool music?
