WS 2018-2019: Laws - From Physics to Justice

Topic: During this semester, the Forum will deal with "Rules" and "Laws" - what is the origin of our social rules ("moral", "ethics"), are there evolutionary roots, do chimpanzees have a sense of justice, how do social reward systems (such as the facebook likes) act upon our sense of justice, does a world that is ruled by "Natural Laws" leave space for free will or is this just an illusion? These are questions that are negotiated during this semester.
