The purpose of existence of the Conservative Institute of M. R. ©tefánik is articulation, spreading and defending of conservative attitudes and values in Slovak society and especially in public life.
The main goal of the Institute is, to a maximum extent, to help create a social atmosphere that will allow the perception and wide acceptance of conservative attitudes.
Conservatism has no ideology or a set of universal ideas, therefore we prefer to speak about conservative attitudes. These attitudes result from lasting values proved by time and generations as well as from specific time and situation in which they are applied.
There is not only one source of conservative attitudes; they are usually inspired by personal experience, various philosophical ideas or religions.
