CLSX Talks: Philipp Blom x Karsten Witt

Karsten Witt in conversation with the historian and author Philipp Blom, who will be the speaker at our concert on november 6, 2022 in the Berlin Philharmonie on our topic "Where are you going?". His new book has just been published by Hanserverlag - "Die Unterwerfung - Anfang und Ende der menschlichen Herrschaft über die Natur": "Today's music is created in times of historical acceleration, a traumatic and overwhelming experience that we all share. Old certainties are constantly being overturned. The climate crisis is also a result of this acceleration. It is also shaking the idea that humans can control nature. But if we are not the beings who can subdue the earth - then who are we? Where is Homo sapiens going?
