Empathy
Svenja Flasspöhler shows in her latest book Sensibel that we increasingly demand empathy from each other. General codes on how to deal with each other no longer seem sufficient and require rewriting. After all, you don't want to deny anyone's feelings. But where is our resilience in a world where feelings increasingly form the basis of our actions?
Resilience
It is a great thing that we are increasingly mindful of people's differences and consider identities that differ from the white male norm. Being mindful of gender identification, cultural background and sensibility around these issues enriches society. But in what relationship do sensitivity and resilience stand to each other? Where does our hypersensitivity come from?
Svenja Flasspöhler talks about how sensitising society can be an essential factor of progress, but only if we are also resilient. After the lecture program manager Liesbeth Jansen will moderated the conversation.
