Public Lecture Hartmut Rosa


Hartmut Rosa is honorary doctor of our university and one of the most prominent intellectuals of today. Carrying on in the tradition of phenomenology and critical theory, he analyses processes of humanisation and dehumanisation in contemporary society. In the Netherlands, he is known in part for his essay Leven in tijden van versnelling.
But in spite of a well formulated and scientifically grounded critique of modernity, elaborated by Critical Theory and Postmodern Critical Studies, and in spite of the fact that many alternative models of sustainable and humanistic post-growth societies have been articulated and described, the habits and worldviews related to the acceleration model of late modern societies are still strongly embodied in our institutions and modes of living, and hinder a real transformation to a sustainable and ecological society.
