The external freedom of the many grows from the internal freedom of the individual.

Theodor Heuss


Working towards freedom in Germany and in the world requires a sense of proportion. One must concentrate on the essentials. The Friedrich Naumann Foundation for Freedom is therefore defining longterm focal issues that will account for at least 50% of the Foundation’s educational and consultancy activities. The guiding principle is freedom – the highest value, the guarantor of human dignity, the basis of economic and social progress.

The focal issues 2008-2011 are

Focal issue 1: Freedom and Property
Focal issue 2: Freedom and Civic Society/Civil Society
Focal issue 3: Freedom and the Rule of Law
