    Identity and Orientation in an Age of Profiles | Hans-Georg Moeller

    What shapes our identity today? How does the academic industry influence philosophy and our pursuit of wisdom? In this conversation, Hans-Georg Moeller and Reinhard G. Mueller discuss Moeller’s theory of profilicity and the three identity technologies – sincerity, authenticity, and profilicity – as developed in his book "You and Your Profile," exploring how we can orient ourselves amid the plurality of identities in our time.Via the lens of Werner Stegmaier’s philosophy of orientation, the episode examines the shift from Bildung to the academic industry, the transformation of mass media, cultural differences between Europe, the US, and China, and debates around the sovereign individual, culture wars, and thinkers such as G. W. F. Hegel, Friedrich Nietzsche, Niklas Luhmann, Robert Sapolsky, and Jordan Peterson.
