Borders - delimitation and the expansion of the world
For the organizers: Prof. Dr. Hermes A. Kick
Ethics is the science that should show where limits are, how they are to be justified and where such are to be set. It provides orientation knowledge for recognizing, respecting and implementing values that serve life. Paul Tillich wrote the phrase: “The limit is the actual place of experience.” This means something very elementary, namely that everything does not end with the limit, but something new can happen. Anyone who does not perceive and respect the limit will miss the necessary experience in dealing with it and the awareness of the task given with it towards the new. This applies at the level of the struggle for terms and definitions, this applies to questions of the scope of models in the natural sciences, and this applies to the political debate about universalistic or particularistic priorities. Neither denial nor violent transgression of boundaries leads to one another: The humane challenge is not dissolving boundaries, but clarifying and bridging boundaries in dialogue. This dialogue must take place in freedom, it must not come under the guise of violence. This is only possible, according to Romano Guardini, if both interlocutors assume: There is something above us, the truth. If this is not possible, then there is only the disclosure of the differences, yes, the fight (K. Jaspers). The topic of life-serving assessment and overcoming of boundaries as a starting point for scientific, artistic and political creation will be taken up in the context of the symposium by the classic faculty disciplines of the university. These positions are intended to stimulate transfer in the interdisciplinary discourse and thus contribute to innovative syntheses. This applies equally to the natural sciences, humanities and the arts in the area of tension between localization and transgression. If we succeed in promoting this necessary discourse about borders within the framework of the symposium, it will become an expression of situational ethics and at the same time an expansion of the world, in short a part of a survival strategy in a destabilized and changing world.
