The Miraculous and its Enemies (1) weiterlesenIn Germany, at most a few insiders know Peter Michael Lingens or the Viennese weekly magazine „Der Falter,“ where he publishes his weekly articles. But the problem of seriousness and respectability is no less pertinent north of the Alps. It seems to me, that we should regard it as one of the main problems of our time.

Peter Michael Lingens – honest or merely respectable? weiterlesenAlthough we usually hear populists in both camps saying, that the realm of good – their own – is facing that of evil – the other side, U.S. and Chinese students and scholars move effortlessly from one country to the other.
