Empty Success
Philosophy for the world of work
Seiten
In the world of work, ambition seems to be a virtue. "Winners" advance their careers by energetically complying with other people's expectations. The industrial system moulds men into functionaries whose detached professionalism is at the heart of both the material wealth and ethical poverty of western civilization. How can we live in this system and maintain moral integrity? The answer is simple: We need to learn to be philosophers, for philosophy is the craft of life.
Michael Andrick has a doctorate in philosophy, is a columnist for the Berliner Zeitung and an essayist for various media. His 2020 book "Erfolgsleere" (Emptiness of Success) analyses life and functioning in industrial society, with which he has been gaining experience in business since 2006. He was awarded the Jürgen-Moll-Prize in 2022 for the stylistic clarity and conciseness of his texts. He lives in Berlin and publishes in Freitag, DLF Kultur, Welt and Cicero, among others.
