Although we find – in comparison with other countries – 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 “Problem-solving instances”, which I approach more closely in Part 1. For illustration, I am going to use the „Décroissance movement“ in Switzerland, which I also would like to discuss in terms of life forms (Part 2).1 aWetzel, Dietmar  uhttps://degrowth.community/conference2014/scientific-papers/3475
