Description du livre
Ludger Kühnhardt, a globally active political scientist, consultant, and publicist, provides vivid and personal insights into the people and sources that shaped him, the thought paths he has followed, and the impulses his work in research and teaching has triggered over decades. A biographical workshop report of high authenticity, bringing together what often appears unconnected in the midst of professional everyday life. Insights that were ahead of their time are repeatedly illuminated from different perspectives, and findings that have remained timelessly relevant are recalled. A vividly written work biography about the inner driving forces and external contexts of a cosmopolitan public intellectual as an enlightening and advisory catalyst in the interplay of science, politics, and journalism. The book reflects German, European, and global contemporary history from the mid-20th century to the third decade of the 21st century in a scholarly work and its classification as a testimony to political culture.
