Das gute Leben. Nachhaltigkeit und Ästhetik

2016, Leitbilder für eine erneuerbare Energieversorgung

The discussions about the „turnaround in energy policy“ and „sustainability“ mainly revolve around technical and economic considerations, as well as the question of feasibility and acceptance of a political implementation of consensual or at least majority-capable insights, in this regard. However, according to this thesis, it seems that day-to-day anchoring of sustainable lifestyles requires above all a „sustainability culture“, to serve as the link between climate change prevention and an aesthetically-oriented optionalisation of lifestyles. Therefore, the decision on a sustainable lifestyle would mean, in the context of culture, making and communicating on an aesthetic choice that individually answers the question: what will the "good life“ look like in the face of climate change?
