Lecture by Gunter Dueck at the re: publica 2013: "Call for metacultural discourse"

Dueck publishes satirical and philosophical non-fiction books about life, people and managers. He put down the most important part of his worldview in a trilogy with the following volumes:

  • Omnisophy: About Right, True, and Natural People (2002),
  • Supramany: From duty man to score man (2003) and
  • Topothesy: ​​humans in a species-appropriate attitude (2004).

His earlier books The beta-inside Galaxy , E-Man: The New Virtual Rulers and The Flood Principle are on the same subject. Central to his work is also his book Wild Duck: Empirical Philosophy of Human-Computer Networking , a lateral thinking work about the diversity of people, society, management and everyday life. Although his books build on one another, they are self-contained.

In many of his works he uses the temperament classification of David Keirsey , which is a further development of MBTI . He abstracted this model in his later literary career.

The Springer-Verlag Science published his works under the heading Dueck's World. His Beta Inside column appears regularly in Informatik Spektrum .

Dueck's book "Lean Brain Management - Success and Increased Efficiency through Zero-Brain" received the 2006 Business Book Prize from Financial Times Germany .

The podcast series “Dueck answers” ​​with Gunter Dueck and the journalist Robert Kindermann has been published since August 2012. The main focus is on “himself and questions from his readers, viewers and listeners”.
