The system-theoretical model of democracy
for the future

Revolution from the Ground Up

Our organization is still in the process of being established,
but we would like to briefly introduce our cause to you.

The fact that the legacy of classical German philosophy can be combined with modern systems theory and dialogical philosophical thinking to create a synthesis is demonstrated by the Reflexive Systems Theory of the Social – a comprehensive social philosophy that explains how society and social systems emerge, function, and are structured. From it, one can derive the model of Value-Gradient Democracy, an internal synthesis of direct and parliamentary democracy that can overcome the weaknesses of the existing party system and lead humanity into an era of true collective self-determination. Our goal is to convey this idea, along with the underlying philosophy, and put it into practice.

To achieve this, we aim to provide the necessary enlightenment, networking, and public outreach. We offer lectures and workshops, establish contacts, and create a foundation for all those who want to engage in Value-Gradient Democracy together. At the same time, we want to implement the principle of Value-Gradient Democracy on a smaller scale and in different contexts: in municipalities, associations, cooperatives, businesses, organizations, and institutions of all kinds – including schools within the framework of the simulation game "School as State" (SalS).

What distinguishes Reflexive Systems Theory and the even more comprehensive Integral Reflexive Philosophy is the combination of conceptual precision and holistic depth. While firmly grounded in scientific reasoning, they also incorporate (or precisely because of that) spirituality as a reference to the Absolute and an essential component of being human. By explaining our conscious existence in its general structures, they have far-reaching implications. They are not only relevant to society and politics but also provide a reasoned foundation for psychology, anthropology, language and art theory, and, in principle, all sciences and their transdisciplinary communication. Their practical relevance is demonstrated by their versatile applicability to various areas of life.

On this still provisional page, you will find a concise presentation of Reflexive Systems Theory and Value-Gradient Democracy, video contributions and articles, as well as brief introductions to our projects that are already in the planning stage.
