 Welcome to the Nexus Institute. First I'd like to know what do you think Nexus stands for and why do you consider it important? Well for me when I think of the word Nexus, I think of a passage and I think that too how to bring knowledge from one generation to the other is a thing of passage and to understand what this knowledge really is about and why it concerns something like attacks or morals or basically humanity in a way that everybody's part of it, but we need some kind of rules and respect for each other. This is why I think it's all important. And how do you think an activity like the Symposium today will help to achieve such goals? I always doubt that activities like directly help because I think an activity like this Symposium is people talking about something that is relevant to the people sit in the audience and that they think about it themselves and they think about what way they treat something like education or communication with younger than others in their own lives and making people think is I think the most important thing Symposium ever could reach. And this Symposium is going to be about Bildung. What do you consider essential Bildung? Well the essential Bildung is the education of the heart because you can know everything and be a human being that hurts other human beings and you've lost everything in that moment. So I think something like empathy and respect and also respect to yourself and your own abysses and the things who will never fit together is essential for education. And then of course this idea what happened centuries ago and also what happens in other cultures. How do other cultures solve the same problems? We all have the same problems of life and death, of sexuality and work, of food and of spirituality and to have the courage to learn from better solutions I think is the goal of education. At this Symposium we also present an issue of our journal Nexus which contains your contribution. We asked you the question which work of art do you consider somehow essential for people, young people to learn? What would be your answer? Well the first I said I would choose a book because while music and the hearts in which my life books are my life. Books are the perpetrators and witnesses of paradoxical human natures and that teaches empathy and knowledge and things and because I think that the first step is to regain yourself and oneself I would choose a philosophical book. Of course I mentioned all the others I did not choose because what I really want to talk about is the love of books but I choose one, Seneca, the life is short and in this essay he tries to remind his friend that the most important thing is to take care of one's own soul and to live one's own life and thereby over the centuries he challenges to be that to do the same. That's a wonderful choice and a wonderful essay. I'll let you go now but I'll ask you one final question. The motto of the Institute is understanding through context. What do you think of that? Is that an important goal? Yes I do think so because I think that we have two things. We have the things and we have the space between the things and an asinine one said we do not see the things as they are we see them as we are and understanding the context from Heisenberg to the phenomenology is understanding that we cannot see the thing itself and to reflect the context is also to reflect otherwise in seeing it and this is the beginning of something I would call freedom.
