(Zusammen-) Leben in digitalen Welten

“There’s still something there!” On the popularity and aspirations of self-optimisation in times of digitalisation

In times of digitalisation, those who want to realise themselves – in a well-modernised way – have a strategy at their disposal in the form of the concept of self-optimisation, which seems to do justice to their own interests and society’s expectations at the same time. But does it really promote a successful life – or is it rather a hindrance to it?

living (together) in digital worlds

Philosophical food for thought

Digital technologies shape our present and have an impact on both individual lifestyles and social coexistence. However, technical developments are not forces of nature – technology can be shaped. The lecture series will provide food for thought for a successful life (together) in digital worlds.

The lecture series organised by Prof. Dr Susanne Hahn and Jonathan Seim as part of the Citizens’ University provides food for thought on shaping individual lifestyles and living together in modern societies. It is the result of a cooperation between CAIS Bochum – Research for the Digital Age -, Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf (HHU) and the Düsseldorf Institute for Internet and Democracy (DIID) and takes place as part of the HHU’s Citizens’ University programme.

The project “Digital Ethics” at CAIS is funded by Stiftung Mercator.
