SUMMARY;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:Francis Fukuyama
DESCRIPTION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:Can one become world-famous with a single phrase? Yes, one can! That=0D=0Ais what happened in the spring of 1989 to the American theorist=0D=0AFrancis Fukuyama. In the view of many, he had captured in both=0D=0Alanguage and thought the greatest turning point since the Second World=0D=0AWar and spoke of the »end of history«. Now Fukuyama is coming to=0D=0AHamburg! And with it the opportunity to meet one of the most=0D=0Ainfluential thinkers of our time, to better understand our world with=0D=0Ahim, and to ask the burning questions of our age.=0D=0A=0D=0APLEASE NOTE: The event will be held in English with German=0D=0Atranslation. =0D=0A=0D=0AAfter the end of the world order of East and West, of communism and=0D=0Acapitalism, and the collapse of the Soviet Union almost 40 years ago,=0D=0Adid the hoped-for triumph of the Western liberal system actually=0D=0Aoccur—along with the end of competing ideologies, and thus the »end=0D=0Aof history« as an era of conflict? How does Fukuyama, in retrospect,=0D=0Aassess his utopia of that time? (As a »side effect«, he also=0D=0Apredicted the emergence of an age of the »last man«—a more=0D=0Ahedonistic species, lacking friction.) =0D=0A=0D=0AHow does he read our confused present? How are these two turning=0D=0Apoints connected? How does he see our future? Fukuyama thinks in=0D=0Aconnections. It is no coincidence that with his most recent book »The=0D=0ALast Man. Where Is the World Heading?« (2026), he returns to his=0D=0Afamous title »The End of History and the Last Man« (1992).=0D=0A=0D=0AWhat kind of world order are we heading toward? Liberal democracy is=0D=0Ain crisis. After a long phase of democratization, we have once again=0D=0Aarrived in a world of power, driven above all by authoritarian=0D=0Amovements, technological change, neoliberalism, and identity politics.=0D=0AWith his reflections on the state of the world, Francis Fukuyama shows=0D=0Awhy liberal thinking is indispensable for Western societies in the=0D=0A21st century. Above all, however, he makes clear why we must fight for=0D=0Afreedom if we want to secure its survival and contain the risk of an=0D=0Aauthoritarian world order.=0D=0A=0D=0AFrancis Fukuyama, born in Chicago in 1952, studied political science=0D=0Aat Harvard. His 1992 bestseller »The End of History« made him=0D=0Ainternationally known. Fukuyama is one of the most important political=0D=0Atheorists of our time. He taught at Johns Hopkins University, received=0D=0Athe Skytte Prize in 2015, and has published numerous books on U.S.=0D=0Apolitics. He is currently Professor of Political Science at Stanford=0D=0AUniversity.=0D=0A=0D=0ATHE EVENT WILL BE HELD IN ENGLISH WITH GERMAN TRANSLATION.=0D=0A=0D=0APERFORMERS=0D=0A=0D=0AFRANCIS FUKUYAMA reading=0D=0A
