View Rights PortalIn Reaktion auf die totalitären Verbrechen und den Zweiten Weltkrieg greift bald nach 1945 eine weltpolitisch revolutionäre Vision um sich: Die Vereinten Nationen verpflichten sich auf universelle Menschenrechte, die allen Menschen weltweit ein mindestens menschenwürdiges Leben ermöglichen sollen. Diese völkerrechtliche Idee entspringt dem Gedankenexperiment einer demokratischen Neugründung politischer Machtverhältnisse, die nicht in Willkürherrschaft oder unmenschliche Diskriminierung umschlagen dürfen. Lange war dieses revolutionäre Projekt auf dem Siegeszug, es gerät jedoch neuerdings unter autoritären Druck, und selbst in der wissenschaftlichen Debatte werden immer häufiger relativistische oder gar höhnische Abgesänge laut. Um an dieses historisch fragile, aber ungebrochen dringliche Erbe zu erinnern, legt Arnd Pollmann eine umfassende philosophische Deutung und Begründung des Zusammenhangs von Menschenrechten und Menschenwürde vor.

Was wäre, wenn der Sinn des Lebens das Leben selbst ist? Das wäre doch eine ziemlich aufregende Möglichkeit. 'Hochinteressant!' würde Karla Distelkamp, Schriftstellerin 'sine spe', rufen und umgehend einen neuen Schreibversuch wagen. Ihre Freundin Ella Hermann hat leider keine Zeit für die ganz großen Fragen: Sie muß sich um die Löcher im Dach jener Mühle kümmern, die sich die beiden Aufgeregten im Zuge ihres Selbstverwirklichungsdrangs angeschafft haben. Um den drohenden Ruin abzuwenden, soll Karla ihre hochtrabenden literarischen Pläne aufgeben und endlich den 'Großen Groschenroman' schreiben. Den Roman, den das Leben selbst schreibt. Schon sind wir mitten in einer Geschichte, prall wie eine Wundertüte.
