Human coexistence is a delicate and vulnerable phenomenon, facing the constant risk of failure. Our early encounters with violence and injustice serve as stark reminders of this fragility. Despite this, our innate nature is one of unity and harmony. John Calvin, over 500 years ago, emphasized this fundamental truth, and his words resonate even today. Lawyer Johannes Althusius, a few years later, further reinforced the idea that politics is the art of symbiotic coexistence, aligning with Calvin's vision. These reformed thinkers of political ethics have paved the way for a successful coexistence, offering guidance and inspiration as we navigate the complexities of our contemporary world. To ensure a brighter future, we must cherish and uphold the legacy of their ideas. Marco Hofheinz, through his theological-historical studies on Reformed ethics, plays a crucial role in preserving this valuable memory. His work contributes to our understanding of the past and shapes our perspective on the future, ensuring that we continue to build upon the foundations of harmonious coexistence.
