DESCRIPTION:When in September 2022 people\, especially women and girls\, t
 ook to the streets in Iran for the first time under the slogan "Woman\, Li
 fe\, Freedom" and used a wide variety of protest actions\, gestures and wo
 rds to stand up not only against the hijab law\, but also against systemat
 ic gender discrimination\, for political participation and the rights of m
 arginalized groups\, the world public was taken by surprise. However\, the
  courageous resistance in the streets did not come overnight. Even before 
 that\, a new self-confidence had grown among many people\, for which philo
 sophy also played a decisive role.\n\nRoman Seidel will show how the story
  of freedom began in philosophy\, what preconditions it found in the Islam
 ic revolution of 1979 and later in the failure of the reform movement. Abo
 ve all\, his lecture will make clear which philosophical voices accompany 
 and reflect the revolutionary movement today.\n\nThe lecture will be held 
 in German.\n\n\nDr. Roman Seidel conducts research at the Institute of Ara
 bic and Islamic Studies at the RUB as part of the Collaborative Research C
 enter SFB 1475 "Metaphors of Religion" in the sub-project "Path and Guidan
