The british-german sociologist and liberal politican Lord Ralf Dahrendorf (1.5.1929-17.6.2009) gave his attention to the basic values of a free democratic society in many of his publications. In his works he calls conflicts - also the controversy - as the basic requirements for all processes of social change as long as they stay controllable in concern of intensity and violence. Today some people tend to talk rather pessimistically of a "disruptive society" in which radical changes create new economic, political and social facts and entail national as well as international changes of paradigms. With the lecture given by Prof. Sabie Döring, titel: "Freiheit und Solidarität - Ein Konflikt in einer disruptiven Gesellschaft?“ Lord Dahrendorfs theses of conflict will be picked up and discussed with regard to the current social and political situation. The event will be arranged by the Friedrich-Naumann-Foundation for Freedom. The lecture is going to be given in German.
