On 1 October 2026, philosopher Eva von Redecker visits Goethe-Institut Dänemark in Copenhagen for a conversation with Mads Jedzini about her latest book "Dieser Drang nach Härte" (S. Fischer, 2026). The discussion takes place in German with Danish summaries and begins at 17:30 - doors open at 17:00.

Von Redecker belongs to the younger generation of Critical Theory scholars and works at the intersection of social philosophy, feminism, critique of property, and ecological questions. She draws on Hannah Arendt, Judith Butler, and contemporary Frankfurt School thinkers around Rahel Jaeggi.

In "Dieser Drang nach Härte", she examines authoritarian and fascist tendencies in contemporary society, arguing that hardness, insularity, and authoritarian notions of strength are gaining ground in many societies.
