Pluralisme en conflits

Andreas Oberprantacher

Outstanding and thought-provoking, this book highlights the (unilateral) use of force in international relations, the chances and risks of international criminal justice, and the question of epistemic violence. It contributes to a better understanding of the relation between power and justice in view of current global tensions while reflecting the work of the internationally acclaimed philosopher Hans Köchler.

Interdisciplinary Approaches to Global Challenges

Power and Justice in International Relations

Was war die Aufklärung? Ist sie gar am Ende? Das Erstarken politischer Ränder, ansteigende religiöse Gewalt und ein Vertrauensverlust in Wissenschaft und Medien legen dies anscheinend nahe. Marie-Luisa Frick führt durch die Geschichte und spannungsgeladene Normativität aufklärerischen Denkens und zeigt: Aufklärung ist kein "Erbe", bei dem wir immer schon wüssten, worum es sich handelt. Mutiges und eigenständiges Denken müssen wir uns immer wieder neu erarbeiten und immer wieder neu entdecken. Oder wie Frick es ausdrückt: "Die Zukunft des Humanismus, sie liegt zwischen Verzagtheit und Übermut."

[Was bedeutet das alles?]

Mutig denken. Aufklärung als offener Prozess

Contemporary deep-reaching changes – whether in financial or real economy, in Europe’s political conditions, in the context of scientific theories, in the field of global (environmental) security, or gender relations – are also a challenge to philosophy. The volume comprises cutting-edge scholarly articles from renowned philosophers with various geographical backgrounds and from different philosophical strands. Next to investigating general questions as to the relation of philosophy and critique (What is philosophical critique and which philosophical concepts of critique are of importance today? Where do we need it most? Where are its limits?), the articles focus on issues like theories of democracy and modes of election; the roles of emotions in the political realm; challenges from a widespread discontent in society to politics and science; changes to social identities and different theoretical approaches to social identity formation. The book is indispensable for all who are interested in what contemporary philosophy has to say on crucial issues of our time.
