We are excited to welcome Dr Hans Köchler, an eminent political thinker and accomplished veteran of the borderlands of philosophy and political reality.

His talk will be on the importance of normative contradictions for our understanding of geo-political conflicts. We will have the chance to discuss on the macroscopic consequences of philosophical tension.

Next to contributing numerous publications on a wide array of topics, the Professor at the University of Innsbruck has continuously brought his arguments into application. He is the founder and president of the International Progress Organisation, a think tank enjoying consultative status with the United Nations. Later, he fundamentally coined the debate on the interaction of cultures, introducing the notion of a Dialogue of Civilizations and was appointed as UN observer by Kofi Annan for the Lockerbie bombing trial.
