Project Iovialis

An Introduction to Attitude, Structure, and Perspective The project is not a system of rules but a way of thinking from the perspective of humanity. The following texts describe central themes of our…

The project was not conceived as a theory, but emerged as a movement of thought. It grew out of a personal, political, and philosophical engagement with the world we live in. Its origin…

Humanity is at the center of project thinking—not as an abstract idea but as a concrete, feeling, thinking, and acting being. The project assumes that humanity is neither purely instinct-driven nor purely rational.…

Freedom, as understood by the project, is not merely the absence of coercion. It is the possibility of making decisions—both to consent and to refuse. A person is only free when they can…

Justice, as understood by the project, is not a rigid principle or an absolute state that can be achieved and then preserved. It is a dynamic process that must constantly be renegotiated among…

Ownership, as understood by the project, is not an absolute right but a social relationship. It does not mean, “This is mine, and no one else may touch it.” Instead, it means, “I…
