drives the Zeitgeist sometimes some strange flower. This is certainly not new, new, however, is that now seems to be the venerable philosophy at the mercy of the current educational decline.
Sun Spiegel Online reported in an article dated 17 October on " thought! For Spontaneous ": the attempted transmission of the poetry slam format to the field of philosophy. Even in the online edition of the philosophy information was already on 4 September, a detailed article published on the topic, the exact date and details and contact called. (The Article from the "News" is in the online edition now no longer accessible.)
The literary model, a "pubs capable variant of literature reading," better translated as "literature spindle" is released following a first in the evening even announced treated subject in a 45-minute preparation time and then later present it in a 5-7minütigen lecture. With creativity and spontaneity to the bill, spontaneous reflection results are achieved in accordance with the motto: "Out of the Ivory Tower."
Now the intention of philosophy is out of the academic ivory tower to move, certainly does not fail. This insufficient anchoring of the Philosophy in society with no small part to the weak state of content discipline dar. But the Agora in fact the right place for philosophy? Friedrich Nietzsche warned not likely before the "fly market"?
is certain objections to the public performances of philosophical texts, quite popular and philosophical nature. But the results can be achieved under such conditions? In no case yet carefully considered thoughts, but at best superficial quickly revamped, maybe even brilliant, dazzling speeches.
Both the circumstances of the genesis of text, and presentation time and reception seem far from likely to bring real philosophy to bear, at best, the contributions as a splinter of a philosophical discourse will be counted. Philophische talks as crucial discourse contributions, as they are presented in the dialogues of Plato, for example, offer the opportunity to own and others' performances in the two-way conversation to be weighed critically. A short monologue from a maximum of 7 minutes duration can be regarded at best as a speech - but a change of speech is not at all instead of yes.
There remains only the hope that "Philosophy slams" the general interest in philosophy, that's actually there, stirring up further. But the format seems hardly likely to promote personal and spiritual development, but rather a linguistic-argumentative dexterity as is given (spoken platonic) rather the Sophists, and today we would say lawyers. If this is the way to the future of philosophy? It is hoped that here and there are branches that lead up : away from the notion of the amount for entertainment, to a more intense intellectual and philosophical life.
"Philosophy Slam," this ruling is allowed have to do with philosophy as much as "Indiana Jones" with archeology.
Flee, my friend, into thy solitude! I see you deafened by the noise of the big men, and stung by the barbs of the small.
(Friedrich Nietzsche, Thus Spoke Zarathustra
