Wolfgang Huber Books

For the first time the founder of the Sozialistisches Patientenkollektiv (Socialist Patients‘ Collective), SPK, Huber, answers questions which an American author had passed on, questions raised by Stefan Aust („... My ... complex“) after having read the files of the cops. More names of culprits available. In this book there are outlined the doings and the developments of the SPK, which up from the first steps were expressions, consciously based on illness; expressions of illness to become incarnated, expressions: as there are bodies in instant motion, materials in instant motion, minds in instant motion, and also light (photo), lives and noises (radio and so on). There are also related to each other the different significances concerning Patientenfront, SPK and IZRU. In the forefront of the SPK there are shown the repeated breakdowns of the compulsory therapists in front of the patients' protest and the failure of the medical(il)legality (Iatrolegalitaet) in front of the collective patients' protest. For the first time in SPK and continuing up to nowadays there exist liberated regions. Off limits for the doctors and for value. SPK/Patientenfront has reached its aim: living in illness, in arztfreier Wirklichkeit (reality, truth and effectiveness free of doctors). The history of illness just has begun. Also this material belongs to that. (Available also in a spoken version on audio cassettes).

The public role of religion continues to be a complex and controversial topic. In a career spanning nearly five decades, Wolfgang Huber has written extensively on the role of Christian ethics in societies across the globe. This collection of essays provides an introduction to his thought and access to some of his most important and thought-provoking essays. He continues to engage issues of both local and global importance at institutions in a number of countries, currently as Guest Professor at the University of Stellenbosch in South Africa.
