life and work

Florian Arnold studied philosophy and German at the Ruprecht-Karls-Universität in Heidelberg and in Paris. The first doctorate in philosophy (Heidelberg) deals with the antagonism of reason and imagination in the development of the philosophical concept of education. The subsequent second doctorate in design theory at the Offenbach University of Design presents a “logic of design” as a design-philosophical foundation that redefines the relationship between philosophy and design based on Kant and Heidegger . Arnold's other research topics include deconstruction, speculation and anthropology. Arnold has also written an introduction to philosophy for designers and is working to bring philosophy and design into discussion as two complementary disciplines. Arnold makes his television debut on ZDFkultur as host of the program "Design und Strafe". In five episodes he encounters the design sins of the past, which he verbally dismantles before his butler effectively destroys them.
