Today’s discussion was recorded in April of 2024 and was part of our Sound Economics event. We were joined by our guest, Dr. Christoph Horn.
Dr. Horn is the Director of Practical Philosophy and Ancient Philosophy at the University of Bonn. He is also the Heuss Professor at the New School. Dr. Horn’s work focuses on classical philosophers like Plato or Aristotle and how we deal with modern questions of ethics and morals. He has also written extensively on political philosophy and the roles ethics and justice play within politics. Dr. Horn is an alum of the New Institute, a German think tank dedicated to understanding the relationship between well-being and living standards and how this impacts the human condition.
Today, Dr. Horn joined us to explain environmental ethics, some of the different schools of thought within ecological ethics, and introduced us to the idea of political ecology.
