Our Mission, Vision, and Values

Mission

Our mission is to collect and systematize valuable knowledge about humanity’s achievements over the centuries in the fields of science and technology, literature and the arts, the universal values it has formed, the outstanding figures it has raised, as well as important discoveries and inventions, and to pass this knowledge on to future generations as a source of knowledge, moral lesson, and inspiration.

Vision

To become a reliable and constantly enriching hearth of knowledge that protects humanity's rich knowledge and moral heritage, makes it accessible and understandable for everyone, and by joining the experience of the past with the thinking of today, inspires future generations to learn, to think, to create, and to build a better future.

Our values

At the foundation of the hearth’s work lies respect for knowledge, for the human being, and for the rich heritage created by humanity. In carrying out our mission and vision, we are guided by the following core values.

Knowledge

We regard knowledge as one of humanity’s most precious treasures. We strive to protect, systematize, and pass on to future generations the knowledge gathered over the centuries in science, technology, literature, the arts, and other fields.

Truth and reliability

The value of knowledge begins with its being grounded in truth. We attach special importance to the accuracy, objectivity, and reliability of the information we present, and to its being based, as far as possible, on authoritative sources.

Enlightenment

One of our main aims is not only to gather knowledge, but also to share it and to encourage people to learn. We believe that enlightenment broadens a person’s worldview, enriches their thinking, and serves the development of society.

Universal values

We regard values such as human dignity, justice, honesty, compassion, mutual respect, and responsibility as the moral foundation of a healthy society. We believe that knowledge should make a person not only more informed, but also wiser and more responsible.

Reverence for heritage

The scientific, literary, cultural, and moral heritage created by past generations is a great treasure that shapes our present. We consider it our moral duty to study this heritage, to protect it, and to pass it on to future generations.

Critical and independent thought

We consider it important that knowledge not merely be accepted, but be understood through thinking. We encourage people to ask questions, to investigate, to compare different views, to understand cause-and-effect relationships, and to draw well-founded conclusions.

Inspiration and development

Knowledge should not only inform about the past; it should also inspire the creation of the future. We want the hearth to be a place that inspires people to learn, to think, to create, and to keep developing.
