The lecture series of the Enviromental Department of the TU Student Council deals with topics of Climate Action in the summer term 2023. Lectures are held in English.
Are we taking actions for reaching certain goals or are we acting to ease our personal conscience, to feel good or at least better? Does it mean that acting together requires that members of acting groups pursue the same purposes? Should we move only within the frame of legal possibilities, or is there a concept of justice which legitimates even illegal behaviour? Or does the end, in the sense of preventing the world conflagration, justifies the means? What is the role of the scientific community in this?
