The texts collected in this volume for the series "Kolloquien - Philosophical Conversations" were written as part of the colloquia of the Academia Philosophia. They consist of philosophical writings that either serve as an introduction to a specific topic or include a pointed philosophical commentary. On one hand, they are intended to allow the reader to gain an overview, making it possible to enter a new field of discussion without already having extensive prior knowledge. On the other hand, they aim to stimulate independent reflection and further thought.
