Contact Arne Moritz

"I understand philosophy as an opportunity to gain freedom from one's own preferences, from expectations that are placed upon one, and from ingrained habits in the use of language and the conception of reality. My didactic work focusses on how ethics and philosophy lessons can make this freedom accessible and available to learners and what role an encounter with the history of philosophy and specific philosophical methods can play in this." (Arne Moritz)
