Cosmonomic Freedom

Mein folgender Artikel erschien auch in der Januar/Februar-Ausgabe 2010 von Contemporary Horizon.

It is quite clear that there is no total freedom, because we all are determined by the place and the time of our birth, we depend on our parents, on the surrounding culture, on our physical and mental constitution and on many more factors.
But many of us have a common idea of freedom, when we think about human rights, about democracy, when we think about civilization.

In this regard the peoples’ situation around the globe seems to be without real progress during the last decades, because freedom is simply cheated.
Cheated especially by governments and societies that pretend to follow the ideals of freedom, but actually exploit other nations and nature in general and specifically for their own benefit.
Most countries in the world are not free and only some nations have a status of “semi-freedom”. This is the disappointing truth at present times.

Freedom in any case means the right and the opportunity to make a choice between existing different options without any personal disadvantages or even punishment.

As the readers of “Contemporary Horizon” are spread worldwide, I am sure, most of them have their own experiences with open and covered restrictions in their countries.

But freedom is an international demand, concerning every individual person.

Freedom is a matter
of education and knowledge,
of human dignity,
of emancipation,
of avoiding violence,
of responsible science,
of common welfare and health care.

Each of these signal words is worth writing volumes of books.

Freedom is consequently erased
by racism,
by nationalism,
by fashism,
by communism,
by capitalism,
by militarism,
by secret services,
by lack of education,
by religion,
by esoteric superstition,
by fundamentalism,
by media brought into the line,
by starving poverty
by destroying the environment,
by wallbuilders and liers,
by modern slavery.

And these signal words do not only stand for future book projects, but they already fill the libraries with their bloody and cruel histories.


As a boy of 13 I fled with my parents because of political persecution from East- to West-Germany. I was lucky, because at first glance the capitalistic system is far more liberal. And this is my reason to write for freedom.
It is us – in the “semi-free” countries! Who else should raise his voice?!

Thus I have developed the cosmonomic philosophy (See “The Cosmonomic Manifesto”, Contemporary Horizon, Nov. 2009) and I am aware that it is an idealistic view of mankind.
But do you think to overcome tyranny without ideals?

We need a lively perspective. I’m offering the cosmonomic philosophy to every citizen of the world, knowing that my suggested angle of view will never kill even one person.
But cosmonomers have to be cautious about the archaic behaviours of those who preach freedom and set sails for war and terrorism.
