Co-creativity and Community

Rate this book
Taking pleasure in one’s own thoughts and experiencing joy at common activities are the major themes of this volume. The biologist Gerald Huether makes it clear that every living system can only develop to its greatest possible potential by participating in a coevolutionary process together with other forms of life. Put more succinctly: Together we can do more than we can alone, and together we can regain what makes us living creatures: creativity, the courage to be ourselves, and the ability to find a personal answer to the question of the meaning of life.Gerald Huether infuses the concept of the personal development of potential in individualized societies with new and exciting highlights. This capability does not arise from the demands made on us by our economic system, nor is it based on ethical considerations and moral imperatives. It is much simpler: It lies in our very nature as humans.

Ich glaube, an vielen Stellen hätte das Buch gekürzt werden können. Ich habe viele Seiten deshalb nur überflogen. Ich persönlich habe auch nicht besonders viel mitgenommen, weil ich die Sicht des Autors nicht sonderlich inspirierend finde und sie mich nicht zum Nachdenken angeregt oder auf neue Ideen gebracht hat.

Gerald Hüther geht irgendwie immer. Die Fakten sind zwar eigentlich bekannt - Pädagogen zum Beispiel, oder Menschen, die viel lesen- aber er erklärt sehr sachlich, wie das menschliche Hirn funktioniert, welche Denkmuster sich entwickeln und warum man selbständig denken und offen sein sollte für andere.
