A Different Approach to Time: Philosophical Impulses in the Jakob-Kemenate
How can life be shaped beyond performance pressure, acceleration, and the constant demands of everyday life? On October 21, 2026, Dr. Michael Bartling invites you to an evening of philosophy at the Braunschweig Jakob-Kemenate, focusing on a more conscious and responsible approach to one's own time.
Between Acceleration and Inner Development
The central question of the event is how people can create space for their intellectual and spiritual development despite societal constraints and current crisis experiences. The evening addresses the concept of deceleration, which is associated with a conscious self-expansion.
Self-expansion in this context refers to the movement towards one's own inner core. It opens a perspective on time that is not solely determined by efficiency, deadlines, and the principle of faster, higher, further. The philosophical reflection connects personal experience with questions of practical life art.
Philosophy as an Art of Living
Dr. Michael Bartling engages with philosophy as a guide for concrete living. His topics include the search for wisdom in antiquity, practical philosophy, and the question of how philosophical insights can be effective in the present.
His publications include among others Epicurus: Theory of the Art of Living and The Search for Wisdom in Antiquity Through the Lens of the Present. Bartling's work operates at the intersection of the history of philosophy, ethics, and existential self-reflection.
A Reading Atmosphere for Concentrated Reflection
The historical Jakob-Kemenate creates an intimate setting for an author encounter where the focus is not on quick assertions but on attentive listening. Language, voice, and conceptual precision combine to create a literary-philosophical experience that invites contemplation.
The evening is aimed at anyone interested in philosophy, the art of living, deceleration, and the cultural significance of time. The event combines lecture, discussion, and reading into a concentrated format.
