Pragmatic philosophy for challenging times

The major crises of the present day are causing fundamental uncertainty for many people. What can you do when you feel there is nothing left to do? Philosopher Martin Bartenberger describes in an intelligent and entertaining way how philosophical pragmatism can help us get through difficult times. Using questions such as the climate crisis and whether we should still fly, whether we should eat meat, and whether we should support Ukraine against Russia, he shows what distinguishes the pragmatic method: a four-step way of thinking that is open to course corrections and helps us to remain capable of acting with meaning and optimism. Not only to improve our own lives, but also the world. • Clearly describes the four steps of the pragmatic method: 1. Develop beliefs, make decisions. 2. Try things out. 3. Identify mistakes based on consequences, if necessary. 4. Improve beliefs/decisions. • A philosophical approach to life for more optimism and confidence • Philosophical eye-opening moments that sharpen your thinking in an entertaining way
