N2  - In the summer of 2018, the authors of the book were standing in the Musě des Arts et Mťiers in Paris. They marvelled at the Foucault pendulum, which made its circular movements on a long rope under the dome. The authors were amazed and wondered, like Casaubon in Umberto Eco's book 'The Foucault Pendulum', what could be at the ideal end of the thread pendulum. The fixed point that could give us support and security in an uncertain world and difficult times? What uncertainties, what times or even what threats are we actually talking about? Where can we find the fixed points, the safe spaces of our lives? This book deals with these and other questions. The authors found inspiration for the book in Umberto Eco. And so it is also a homage to Eco. The authors: Wolfgang Frindte, Prof. i. R. Dr. phil. habil., graduate psychologist (Friedrich Schiller University Jena 1974), 1981 doctorate and 1986 habilitation.

The translation was done with the help of artificial intelligence (machine translation by the service DeepL.com). A subsequent human revision was done primarily in terms of content, so that the book will read stylistically differently from a conventional translation
