Thinking is a feast that consists in exhausting oneself on striving not to »consume« any of the abundant dishes one finds set on the table. – The Department for Architectural Theory and Philosophy of Technics considers the 2000 years old tradition of Architectonic Treaties as a plentiful banquet where one can experience that and how thinking can be learned. Here we can instruct ourselves in how to formulate and articulate an abstract stance with regard to the grand themes of our own time: »the Anthropocene«, humanism / posthumanism, climate and sustainability, responsibility and globalization, in short: the role of architecture in relation to power, politics, economy, technics, values, art, and knowledge.
