Forming a state is still a necessary task which is difficult from both a practical and a philosophical point of view. State building requires a return to the human world; trust must be built and responsibility must be recognizable in state action. This appears to be taken for granted in the modern age; the not self-evident only results from an open discussion about the possibility of a renewed, renewing formation of the state. Confidence in the state includes historical insights (1) and a critical discussion of the functionality of conflicts (2–3). One also needs a discussion about the fundamental possibilities that a state offers, its connection with the language of morality (4).
