“Philosophy has always been a passion in my life. I have books everywhere and love to open a book, flip through a page and disappear into a philosophical world. Philosophy poses basic questions to life. These are questions that are at once characterized by the time they have been asked, but through the apparent dust a topicality shines through that will not leave us alone. Philosophy is about us being moved by our existence, by our encounter with other people, by the universe, by life to reflect on it ”.
