About this Episode
After the change of throne on October 3rd 2025 in Luxembourg, Bob and Lex began to wonder whether a monarchy still has a place in the 21st century or whether it has become a relic of a bygone era. To explore this question, they invited two specialists, Christian Meyers and Paul Rauchs, into the studio. Before the discussion begins, the two guests are briefly introduced.
Luxembourgish education scholar Christian Meyers is considered one of the leading voices when it comes to the social foundations of schooling and education in the Grand Duchy. As a Senior Lecturer at the University of Luxembourg (FHSE), he combines historical research with current issues in education policy. His work revolves around the power structures, expectations and cultural narratives that shape Luxembourg’s school system, offering insights into the deeper strands that run through contemporary pedagogical debates.
Meyers regularly appears as a speaker and expert in cultural and academic media formats. He brings complex topics such as the history of religion, secularisation and conspiracy-theoretical traditions into a clear and accessible framework, showing how closely these themes are intertwined with the self-understanding of a modern, pluralistic society.
With his blend of analytical precision and broad societal perspective, Christian Meyers is widely regarded as one of the key voices in the public discourse on schooling, education and social responsibility in Luxembourg.
The Luxembourgish philosopher Paul Rauchs has long been one of the most influential thinkers in the country’s cultural landscape. With a sharply honed view of the tensions between individual freedom, social expectations and political responsibility, he examines the questions that shape contemporary Luxembourg. Rauchs opens philosophical spaces that do not remain abstract but resonate in everyday life: What does living together in a diverse society mean? How does digitalisation reshape our understanding of the human being? And which values guide us through uncertain times?
As an author, speaker and essayist, Rauchs is known for his clear language and his sober, yet pointed style. He distils complex ideas without losing depth. His contributions to the media, public debates and cultural-philosophical forums make him an important voice who inspires intellectual curiosity and provides orientation.
Paul Rauchs stands for a form of philosophy that avoids the ivory tower and simple answers, treating thinking itself as a tool to understand the world more fully.
