New academy of the Freedom Education Institute!
Applications are open until February 28
Politics does not happen in a vacuum. The framework conditions under which political processes take place are defined anew every day by external influences. A broad apron of media, intellectuals and institutions determines the conditions under which a daily political debate takes place even before it begins.
Who decides which opinions are allowed? What is this often quoted "zeitgeist"? Where does it come from and how can it be changed?
The Metapolitics course introduces participants to the most important metapolitical processes and concepts and enables them to understand and help shape the metapolitical discourse in Austria. Lecturers include renowned experts from the German-speaking world.
Graduates understand the social processes that give rise to discourse and subsequently control it. Furthermore, they have an understanding of the role of history in society and are able to contribute to a meta-political discourse in Austria.
Module I (March 24-25, 2023): Basics: Introduction to Metapolitics
Module II (June 16 - 17, 2023): Interpretive sovereignty: the domination of concepts
