What's worth sacrificing your Life for? | Theofanis Tasis | TEDxRhodes

Starting from the end is a good place to start asking the right questions and can turn mere existence into a life worth living. In this refreshingly pithy talk, Theofanis Tasis, one of the most prolific philosophers of his generation, offers a fast-track insight into the Good life. Theofanis Tasis was born and raised in Munich in 1976. He studied Physics at the University of Crete and was awarded his PhD in Philosophy with honors at the Freie Universität Berlin.

He is currently teaching Modern Philosophy at Alpen-Adria Universität and is also a member of the Humanitarian Academy of Berlin. He was a Stanley J. Seeger Fellow at Princeton University, a Marie Curie Fellow at Universite Saint-Louis in Brussels, and an Erasmus Fellow at the Freie Universität Berlin.

He has taught in universities in Greece, Germany, and Austria. His research pertains to the relationship of politics, ethical and digital technology and revolves around the concepts of Image, Mortality, and the Art of Living.

Many of his works such as “Politics of Bios I: On Irony” , “Politics of Bios II: Self-care in the iconistic society” and “Castoriades: a philosophy of autonomy” have earned international awards and he is considered one of the most prolific philosophers of his generation. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
