About the Blog

The "Gift & the Common Good" Blog serves as a dynamic platform to discuss The Gift & the Common Good. It was iniciated by our same-named conference in Meißen, Germany, in 2019, and its proceedings will provide the framework for the first blog posts. All speakers of the conference are cordially invited to participate, but external interest and participation in the blog is also very welcome.

This project is organized by Prof. Dr. Walter Schweidler, with the generous support of the Hermann and Marianne Straniak Foundation.
