Language as a way to co-responsibility

More about the book

Focusing on the ethical implications of discourse, this work explores the crises faced by societies in the early 20th century, including the rise of scientism and Nazism. It examines the degradation of human values and the impact of post-war theories, such as moral solipsism and the Ethics of discussion. Karl-Otto Apel emphasizes the importance of language and questions the notion of ultimate foundations, advocating for a responsible future through a new heuristic centered on inquiry. The text critically engages with the philosophical landscape shaped by historical turmoil.
