"Common Value Concepts – Are They Necessary even in 2001?"

There is almost nothing as bad as the randomness of a world without stability, for the way from anomie to tyranny is short. We need pro-active efforts seeking common value concepts, even in the 21st century. This means, above all, that we need those who take the trouble to keep the public debate about such value concepts going. Providing such a reason year by year is the achievement of the Karlsruhe Academy of Advanced Dental Studies. We owe thanks to this institution.
