Die deutsche Philosophie - von Jakob Böhme, über Kant, Fichte und Hegel, bis zu Marx, Nietzsche, Lotze, Habermas etc. - hatte und hat enormen Einfluss auf die europäische und weltweite Kultur, Wirtschaft und Gesellschaft. Dies gelang immer dann, wenn sie sich nicht in akademischen Elfenbeitürmen verbarg, sondern den Geist der Zeit auch praktisch inspirierte.
In Anlehnung an den ersten Satz deutscher Philsophie: "Ich vergleiche alle Philosophia ... einem köstlichen Baum, der in einem schönen Lustgarten wächst." (Jakob Böhme in "Aurora") entsteht eine "Straße der Philosophie", welche die ereignisreichsten Orte deutscher Philosophie verbindet und jeweils vor Ort für Besucher erlebbar macht.
Zur konkreten Mit-Entwicklung dieses Projekts suchen wir einen philosophisch als auch tourismuswirtschaftlich kompetenten Mitarbeiter.
