Maik Hosang (born 29 December 1961 in Bautzen) is a German philosopher, future researcher and human ecologist.
Life
[edit]Hosang studied philosophy, psychology and anthropology at the Humboldt-University of Berlin. In connection with the theories of Johann Gottlieb Fichte, Nicolai Hartmann, Max Scheler, Manfred Eigen, Erich Jantsch and others he wrote his thesis to the topic "The Human Being in the evolutionary layers of self-organization." He received the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Dr. phil.) 1990 at the Humboldt-University of Berlin.
Together with the philosopher Rudolf Bahro he founded in 1990 the Institute for Social Ecology at the Humboldt-University of Berlin and worked here from 1990 to 1998. In 1993, together with his friends and with the support of the Saxon Prime Minister Kurt Biedenkopf, he founded the socio-ecological model project LebensGut in Pommritz.[1] After the death of Rudolf Bahros, he transferred the Institute for Social Ecology[2] to this place.
In addition to the management of this institute, he is a professor for Cultural Sciences at the University of Zittau/Görlitz since 2014. There he established together with other scientists a research group for transformation sciences.[3]
Research
[edit]In 1999, Hosang published the book "Homo sapiens integralis, Transdisciplinary Terms for Sustainable Development" (in German published with the title "Der integrale Mensch") at the Humboldt-Universität Berlin.[4] and became one of the first German scientists in the new field of research in social ecology. He received the degree of Doctor habil of Social Ecology 1999 at the Humboldt-University of Berlin, with reviews from Rupert Riedl and Vittorie Hösle.
In a project sponsored by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research,[5] Hosang together with the environmental scientist Bernd Markert and the biochemist Stefan Fränzle compared various socio-ecological thinking and research approaches and developed the theory of the biocultural or "emotional matrix"[6] – an emotional depth structure which, according to her opinion, is the basis of all human cultures and societies and which has a similar meaning to social systems as the genetic code for biotic systems.
Further focuses of his work are the connections between ecology, ethics, love and freedom as well as of sustainability and happiness research.[7]
Together with the artist Ulrich Schollmeyer and others, he developed and realized the Philosophical Experience Exhibition at the Lebensgut Pommritz.[1]
Together with Heinrich Kronbichler, Dolores Richter and Simone Debour, he initiated 2014 the philosophy festival of love held in Berlin since then.
Together with the neurobiologist Gerald Hüther and the theologian Anselm Grün, Hosang developed an inter- and transdisciplinary theory of love and creativity.[8]
