Die heilige Ordnung der Menschenwürde

As human beings we are exposed to our mortality. Though we are unable to find the reason for our existence, we exist—with others. Being with others is both necessary for our survival and a source of joy and pain. The central question remains: How do we want to live together?
Human beings need to be empowered to participate in this fundamental discourse. The concept of the ‘sacrality of the individual’ explains why inviolable values, such as human dignity, do not only need to be implemented in our Basic Law, but need to be filled with life—they need to be believed in.
Rational concepts of order will always have arational foundations. The ‘Sacred Order of Human Dignity’ shows why an awareness of this fact is crucial for the stability of democratic self-determination.
