In this direct and brilliant essay, the scholar Carolin Emcke reflects on the great issues of today: radicalism, racism, and growing distrust, if not hostility, towards democracy. Racism, extremism, anti-democracy ... in a public forum that is becoming increasingly more polarized, a thought process is being imposed that only questions the opinions of others and never our own. To this rigid approach, Carolin Emcke –winner of the German booksellers Peace prize and one of the most interesting European intellectuals of her generation– contrasts a devoted tribute to the diverse and the "impure." The answer to our current problems cannot be simply left to politicians, because we are all responsible for fighting against all daily forms of hatred and deprecation. Democracy is only possible if we are strong enough to face hatred.
