Philosophising in the mountains – Reading seminar with Barbara Bleisch
Thursday, 5 November to Sunday, 8 November 2026
Life is not short; we make it short by rushing through our days too often and filling our time with activities that do not satisfy us. This was written by the Roman philosopher and statesman Seneca more than 2,000 years ago. How do we use our lifetime wisely? What does it mean to live a life, and do plans help us to do so? In this seminar, you will read philosophical texts and discuss them under the expert guidance of Barbara Bleisch, PhD in philosophy, author and presenter of the programme ‘Sternstunde Philosophie’ on SRF. In between, there will be plenty of time to explore the mountains.
