Show detail Hide detail

Wolfgang Junker presents a series of documentaries about German culture of the past with an interest in learning from history in order to avoid catastrophy and achieve peace for all humanity in the present day.

Junker explains how the 19th century revolutions swept aside many unjust hierarchies, but revealed three problems that humankind was not prepared to solve: property, currency, and international relationships. Speculation for profit led to disaster. He describes the efforts of Robert Owen to organise trade unions and examines Karl Marx's vision and shortsightedness for the revolution they would bring about. He compares the enormous changes in society to those in the arts, taking expressionist painter Franz Marc as his example. A documentary follows which looks at the work and life of Franz Marc, regarded as one of the founders of modern art. With his friend Kandinsky, Marc formed a group called The Blue Rider.

Junker closes this episode by evaluating the impact of Darwin's theories on organized religion. He further posits the latter's inability to integrate new thinking as the cause for a widespread loss of morality which lead to the horrors of the late 19th and 20th century. <28mn 30s>
