Modern politics are less founded on an ideological basis. Policymakers are getting more flexible and pragmatic. THINK provides (un)solicited advice on the extent to which policies meet the basic principles of justice:
- Every person has an equal right to a full basic package of rights and freedoms. These rights and freedoms are compatible with the rights and freedoms of others. The political government must guarantee these basic rights and freedoms.
- Social and economic inequality is only justified if it is linked to positions open to everyone and/or if it benefits the least advantaged in society.
- All gouvernment actions must be proportional with respect to personal responsibility and autonomy.

About
THINK is an initiative of a group of enthousiatic political followers that debates on the implications of policy. Their common observation is that most policymakers are very keen on the ‘What’ of a policy-proposal, but spend to little time on the ‘Why’ and ample time on the implications of the “How”.
To help policymakers with connecting these dots and to facilitate them with viewpoints on the issue of social equality in their proposals, THINK is a platform for debate on basis of the thougt-experiment as developed by John Rawls. We conveniently shop in the works of other political philosophers like Dworkin and Habermas and are not afraid to use modern resources as the work of cultural anthropologer Sinek or others.
Al our effords aim at the creation of a scientific basis for the development of our viewpoints.
