Pandemische Nächte
Auch wenn Corona in scheinbare Ferne rückt, der Studierenden-Alltag wird nicht leichter. Statt des Viruses kann einem auch ein Basketballspiel einen Strich durch die Rechnung machen. Dann schaut man genauso in die Röhre und es bleibt nur die Kontemplation über tagespolitische Themen.
Tugenden der Langeweile
Der Corona-Lockdown hat uns alle für kurze Zeit aus dem Hamsterrad entlassen: Jetzt dürfen wir uns wirklich und in aller Ernsthaftigkeit mal wieder langweilen. Aber wie geht das überhaupt? Eine Apologie des produktiven Nichtstun.
Corona Aesthetics
Throughout the history of philosophy fathoming the nature of beauty has been a concern. The corona lockdown challenges our current perception of the ideal body. Is it possible that we will develop a new understanding of beauty, that „Corona Aesthetics“ will evolve?

Perhaps Covid-19 made our generation see its first collective "historical moment". What does this mean? How does this historical dimension feel like? A personal approximation.

Yet, should we not be critical of the authoritarian aspects of the measures and of the understanding of politics they exhibit? An essay.
A duty to protest in times of Corona?
Basic civil rights have been taken away from us by the government in order to fight the virus. Is it our duty to protect these rights and go demonstrating? A philosophical inquiry.

How can we justify the current lockdown from a philosophical perspective? Is it justifiable at all? And does Corona pose a problem to our understanding of social justice? An inquiry into the ethics of health care.
Why write about Corona?
Corona has become the inevitable focal point of all debates. No matter whether this is getting on our nerves or not, we cannot escape the questions the pandemic implies. This is why we have to debate them, and why we launch a new column.
