War in the Gulf – Is Peace Possible?

In an increasingly complex and unpredictable present, often accompanied by a feeling of powerlessness, this lecture at the Goetheanum seeks paths of wakefulness and of deep understanding for the events of our time. Instead of simple explanations, the attempt is made to illuminate phenomena from different perspectives and to make geostrategic and historical connections visible.

Gerald Häfner, head of the Section for Social Sciences at the Goetheanum and a long-standing expert on national and European politics, casts a differentiated, personal eye on current world events in his lecture. At the centre stand the most recent military conflicts in the Middle East, in particular the dynamics surrounding Iran.
