Guardini Foundation

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Guardini Foundation , its own name Guardini Foundation , was founded in Berlin in 1987 as a registered association in memory of the religious philosopher Romano Guardini .

The main themes of the work are therefore the presentation of contemporary art and the promotion of interdenominational dialogue between artists and scientists in the tradition of the namesake, who made this dialogue between theology, philosophy, literature and art his concern. In this context, the Guardini Foundation speaks of the triangle of art , science and faith as a work program.

It maintains a Guardini college and a Guardini gallery, has numerous publications and has made a significant contribution to the establishment of a Guardini chair at the theological faculty of the Humboldt University in Berlin.
