Project: Staying Civil

We are aware of the fact that the community has the power to sustain – this assures the individual that he does not stand rootless, he is not alone in the world, and he is not a one dimensional person, whose single task is consumption, by which he maintains the balance envisioned by the great economic schools, but he is a person with the capacity to experience the unity of body, soul and intellect. Value based communities help the individual to become an autonomous transcendent creature, who makes his decisions based on his own value judgment and assumes responsibility and for them. It is important to realize that European democracies are in a crisis, but the realization itself is not enough for us to move on. We need to point out that without the active social involvement of the civil sphere we cannot move on since the state as a framework is filled by society. Therefore, civil society needs to inspire the state by its own involvement, it needs to take the state towards new solutions and it needs to evoke new responses from it.”
