Global Dialogues 1, Duisburg 2013
Abstract
It has been some time since a talk on religion made quite as many waves as has Martin Mosebach’s lecture ‘Wagnis Blasphemie’ (‘Daring Blasphemy’), delivered at the Institute for Advanced Study in the Humanities in Essen as part of the Centre for Global Cooperation Research workshop ‘Free Speech in a Multicultural World’. Having provoked immediate criticism (but also some positive feedback) at the workshop itself, the talk, published soon afterwards in a number of national dailies, triggered an intense debate across most of Germany’s quality press—a debate documented in this issue of Global Dialogues.
