tasks and goals
According to its own statements, the foundation endeavors to give the public access to Brunner's work and his fundamental thinking. In particular, the fruitfulness of this philosophy in the various areas of thought is to be demonstrated, its relationship to the directional currents and theories to be clarified and its practical applicability to be demonstrated.
To this end, the foundation supports new editions of out-of-print works by Brunner, scientific papers and other activities that relate to Brunner’s work, even in a critical manner. This funding exists, within the limited possibilities of the foundation, v. a. in printing grants, exceptionally also in grants.
Applications for support of projects can be submitted informally at any time. The board decides on the award.
