Orientation is a prerequisite for all life, including human life. It is therefore offered as something that can be possessed and given, and has become a marketplace where advisors of all kinds, not least philosophy and ethics, congregate. Nevertheless, it remains philosophically unclear how clarity and stability arise in human orientation, how reason and its justifications, language and its signs, society and its morals, religion, science, and art create reference points and open up spaces in which something can then be made of it. The contributions in this volume attempt to gradually re-explore what orientation could be.
