	abstract = {Contribution to the Special Session: {\quotedblbase}Good life and Degrowth: Swiss examples of rethinking the way of life{\textquotedblleft} Keywords: Good life, life forms, social movements, D{\'e}croissance This contribution attempts to raise some conceptual reflections about the debate with regard to the conditions of an embodiment of the {\textquotedblleft}good life{\textquotedblright} into social movements, especially with regard to the situation in Switzerland. Although we find {\textendash} in comparison with other countries {\textendash} in Switzerland a very rich und prosperous society, there are emerging alternative life forms which are no longer satisfied with the negative effects of a hegemonic cultural capitalism. Therefore I will propose to the workshop as an introduction and overview some mainly conceptual ideas about new and alternative life forms. I follow a suggestion given by the German philosopher Rahel Jaeggi. She understands life forms as {\textquotedblleft}Problem-solving instances{\textquotedblright}, which I approach more closely in Part 1. For illustration, I am going to use the {\quotedblbase}D{\'e}croissance movement{\textquotedblleft} in Switzerland, which I also would like to discuss in terms of life forms (Part 2).},
