Irgendwann ist genug

Enough is Enough. An interview with Karlheinz A. Geißler on taking time for the most important questions in life
Never has a slowdown occurred at such a high speed as during the pandemic. In an interview with Wilfried Frei, the renowned time researcher and author Professor Emeritus Karlheinz A. Geissler describes what collective learning processes we are experiencing in dealing with the dynamics of time such as those in „Corona Year“ 2020. Simultaneous slowing down and speeding up allows us to have experiences that can become point of departure for biographical learning processes with regard to our relationship to time. Geissler interprets the loss of institutions that structure time during lockdown as an opportunity for learning how to deal with time in a self-determined manner. He describes the finite nature of a human life as an opportunity for finding one‘s way from the pace of clock time to one‘s own rhythm by practicing gradual renunciation and developing a sense for when enough is enough, which our society is sorely lacking.
