Er nimmt die "Kriegsstimmung" der deutschen Öffentlichkeit als Begleitmusik zu einer fatalen strategischen Fehleinschätzung wahr, die sich als geopolitische Zäsur von großer Tragweite erweisen könnte. Während ich noch von ihm wissen will, was er dem Bundeskanzler jetzt, im Herbst 2023, empfehlen würde, malt er das düstere Szenario vom Abstieg des Westens aus, der für ihn vom Niedergang der politischen Institutionen in den USA nicht zu trennen ist. Er spricht von der Spaltung der amerikanischen Gesellschaft und von der "Auflösung des amerikanischen Parteiensystems", die sich – wenn auch erst seit Trump nicht länger zu ignorieren – schon in der zunehmenden Polarisierung der späten 1990-Jahre angekündigt hätten. Er hält die Erschütterung der politischen Institutionen für so gravierend, dass ihre Legitimität auf lange Sicht beschädigt sei." (……)</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">"Was die Ukraine angeht, so prophezeit er den graduellen Rückzug der Amerikaner, sobald sich der Krieg für Biden im Wahlkampf als innenpolitischer Ballast erweisen werde. Und er befürchtet, dass der Zerfall der Unterstützerkoalition, den das zur Folge haben würde, den Western die Letzten Reste von politischer Glaubwürdigkeit und Autorität kosten könnten, über die er gegenwärtig noch verfüge. Denn dass sich Europa noch zu einem "global einflussreichen Akteur" mausern werde, auch daran glaubt er spätestens seit dem Scheitern von Emmanuel Macrons diesbezüglichen Initiativen nicht mehr. Das betrifft umso mehr seine einstigen Hoffnungen auf weltbürgerliche Verhältnisse: "Das alles ist Vergangenheit". Und dann sagt er einen Satz, der unseren Gesprächsfluss einen Moment lang stocken lässt: All das, was sein Leben ausgemacht habe, gehe gegenwärtig "Schritt für Schritt" verloren. Er wäre nicht der Kämpfer, der er ist, wenn er sich nicht im selben Atemzug gegen die Überheblichkeit derjenigen wappnen würde, die es schon immer besser gewusst zu haben meinen: "Es ist zu billig, sich über einen solchen Idealismus rückblickend lustig zu machen. Jeder gute Zeithistoriker schreibt Geschichte nicht nur zynisch vom enttäuschenden Ergebnis her". Es ist bestürzend, Habermas – den letzten Idealisten – so fatalistisch zu erleben."

So liest man noch einmal, wie schon der Mittdreißiger Habermas ein Magnet war, nach dem sich viele ausrichteten, wie wichtig der Suhrkamp Verlag für den Frankfurter Professor gewesen ist, wie heftig die Auseinandersetzungen mit der Studentenbewegung waren und wie intensiv die Beziehungen zu Karl Heinz Bohrer und Martin Walser. Beide Freundschaften gingen später in die Brüche – im Streit um die Nation, um Deutschland. Eine erfolgsverwöhnte, internationale Gelehrtenkarriere als Erbe der Kritischen Theorie, dazu die öffentliche Rolle als sich mit Zeitungsartikeln einmischender, virtuoser Medienstratege – tatsächlich ist es ja unglaublich, wie Habermas </span><span style="font-family: verdana;">das alles stemmte.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">Zu großer Form läuft Felsch in den Achtzigerjahren auf. Plötzlich, nachdem der 52-jährige Habermas gerade sein gigantisches erstes Hauptwerk, die <i>Theorie des kommunikativen Handelns</i>, veröffentlicht hat, passiert 1982 der Worst Case: Die CDU mit Helmut Kohl übernimmt in Bonn die Macht. Habermas wittert überall den Rechtsschwenk und stürzt sich 1986 in den sogenannten Historikerstreit, versiert in der "Kunst, seine Gegner durch Eingemeindung zu besiegen" (Felsch). Alles oft gelesen – doch Felsch interpretiert den geschichtspolitischen Erfolg des Philosophen luzide als theoretischen Rückschritt: Eben noch auf der Höhe seiner Kommunikationstheorie, praktiziert Habermas jetzt den kulturalistischen Kampf um Hegemonie."</span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p>Thomas Gregersenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11528276338463425307noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8093952125520595733.post-52831223861841799862024-02-12T19:12:00.003+01:002024-02-12T19:35:09.283+01:00Habermas on Oskar Negt (1934-2024)<p><span style="font-family: verdana;">Jürgen Habermas on Oskar Negt (1934-2024): </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">"<b><a href="https://www.soziopolis.de/bildung-als-erfahrung.html" target="_blank">Bildung als Erfahrung</a></b>"</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">(Soziopolis, February 12, 2024)</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">See also:</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">* Jörg Später - "<a href="https://www.soziopolis.de/der-sozialistische-praktiker-der-kritischen-theorie.html" target="_blank">Der sozialistische Praktiker der Kritischen Theorie</a>" (Soziopolis, 12-02-2024)</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">* Thomas Schmid - "<a href="https://www.welt.de/debatte/kommentare/plus249916550/Oskar-Negt-Das-bodenstaendige-Gegenstueck-zum-feinen-Denkerclub.html?icid=search.product.onsitesearch" target="_blank">Gegen die Mode der Bürgerkinder</a>" (Die Welt, 06-02-2024)</span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfamd6b41Mwd__3S3dnAngj5yhh2Q81mEax5iLs-J3-w_AfdR2z7NMNanAf8HNrGhOhUg_9XVZKUwY5dNOG0J-AoODV_D0yFPjNRkxFrmMvbrp763QRTVJ-fit8gIAQspPOwWkAOYNreYH1enuRJmayEsH2qDy0ro1ffEdAcRADvagRFocbLo_5IjBQBk/s1199/oskar%20negt.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="801" data-original-width="1199" height="268" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfamd6b41Mwd__3S3dnAngj5yhh2Q81mEax5iLs-J3-w_AfdR2z7NMNanAf8HNrGhOhUg_9XVZKUwY5dNOG0J-AoODV_D0yFPjNRkxFrmMvbrp763QRTVJ-fit8gIAQspPOwWkAOYNreYH1enuRJmayEsH2qDy0ro1ffEdAcRADvagRFocbLo_5IjBQBk/w400-h268/oskar%20negt.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span><p></p>Thomas Gregersenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11528276338463425307noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8093952125520595733.post-90089926028187230062024-01-16T20:50:00.003+01:002024-01-17T06:22:11.353+01:00New book on Habermas' history of philosophy: "Okzidentale Konstellationen zwischen Glauben und Wissen"<p><span style="font-family: verdana;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipa6aTieH2awyuIPltEF_LAqRPB8N6Ho6YAgL7HLc1BNzMRlWIUXc-bXJD8D3g-KbsIfB0_RbXf5Tpy8-bZpdI8O5OM50-_dX-z_EpvMNgZ7rralJ38bgZTDUU61FtM9eJbJRyTz9cMo4w9dKxeXby72CER4nrK0V9ZmRQmRpyqlgAzYYSUD26kY2ZXSo/s965/csm_Titel_Langthaler-Schelkshorn_%20kort.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="965" data-original-width="662" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipa6aTieH2awyuIPltEF_LAqRPB8N6Ho6YAgL7HLc1BNzMRlWIUXc-bXJD8D3g-KbsIfB0_RbXf5Tpy8-bZpdI8O5OM50-_dX-z_EpvMNgZ7rralJ38bgZTDUU61FtM9eJbJRyTz9cMo4w9dKxeXby72CER4nrK0V9ZmRQmRpyqlgAzYYSUD26kY2ZXSo/s320/csm_Titel_Langthaler-Schelkshorn_%20kort.jpg" width="220" /></a></span></div><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></span></p><span style="font-family: verdana;">New book: </span><p></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b>Okzidentale Konstellationen zwischen Glauben und Wissen.

In the following, I want to discuss three challenges resulting from structural changes in our social and intellectual environment that make it more and more difficult to preview a fruitful, productive, and energizing future for Critical Theory in its traditional form. These three challenges stem from (1) the growing awareness of the endurance of the colonial past of Western societies, (2) the unmistakable importance of the ecological question, and, finally, (3) the growing uncertainties about the exact format and arrangement of interdisciplinary research."</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">* <i>Rainer Forst</i>: "<a href="https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/1467-8675.12724?af=R" target="_blank">The rational critique of social unreason. On critical theory in the Frankfurt tradition</a>" [open access]</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">Excerpt: "In my view, then, critical theory must be reconfigured as a critique of relations of justification. This calls, on the one hand, for a critical social scientific analysis of social and political relations of <i>domination</i> that includes cultural and, not least, economic structures and relationships. In this regard, two dimensions of domination must be distinguished: subjugation to unjustifiable norms and institutions, and subjugation to conditions that prevent practices of justification. Such critical analysis must be combined with a discourse-theoretical, genealogical critique of the justifications and justification narratives that confer legitimacy on unjustifiable relations. On the other hand, we must pose the constructive question of how a “basic structure of justification” can be conceived as a requirement of fundamental justice and be realized in social practice - not as an ideal or a model to be imposed on societies, but as a normative order to be developed autonomously. Essentially, a theory we call <i>critical</i> ought to be based on the <i>principle of criticism itself</i>. Its medium is reason striving for practices of autonomous justification among equals."</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">* <i>Alessandro Ferrara</i> - "If Foucault, why not Rawls? On enlarging the critical tent"</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">Excerpt: "It is undeniably among the aims of critical theory to envisage a society in which diversity can exist in the absence of oppression. Now, it’s all too easy to merely invoke the ideal of equals living together with their diversity (ethnic, ethical, religious, cultural, or of gender, lifestyle, sexual preference) and without oppression. Deconstructionists, post-colonial theorists, and theorists of recognition often emphatically do so. However, when it comes to specifying concretely which institutions should form the basic structure of such a society, how they should relate to one other, what rights and liberties (and how limited and balanced) citizens should have, and what democratic legitimacy means, it is a whole different story.On the nuts and bolts of an oppression-free society the entire first generation had little to offer, to say nothing of the cauldron of the “verwaltete Welt” (Adorno). Habermas has quite a lot to say, in <i>Between Facts and Norms</i> and in his exchange with Rawls. Among the younger critical theorists who long for reviving the earlier program of the Frankfurt School, few even attempt to say anything. This is the problem, instead, on which [John Rawls's] <i>Political Liberalism</i>, not <i>A Theory of Justice</i>, offers an elaborate theory unmatched by any other to date (....) Critical theory can only gain from enlarging its tent to include also some of Rawls’s concepts - reasonability, civility, reciprocity - and from launching empirical research on the conditions of the possibility for them to maintain traction in the challenging decades ahead of us."</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">* <i>Maeve Cooke</i> - "Social theory as critical theory: Horkheimer's program and its relevance today"</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">Excerpt: "Since formalist models of politics abstain from critique of the prevailing deep-seated ethical-existential values and from recommendation of alternatives, they are conducive toward unquestioning acceptance of the ethical-existential values undergirding the established political procedures, facilitating the reproduction of the political status quo. Against this, I take the view that contemporary critical theory must engage with ethical-existential questions, not least if it is to meet the challenges posed by our disastrous ecological situation. This requires it, in turn, to engage with the question of ethical-existential validity. Given the challenge of value pluralism, therefore, a key task for contemporary critical theory is to elaborate a conception of ethical validity that is at once universalist and attentive to the plurality of ethical values and worldviews."</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">* </span><i style="font-family: verdana;">Samuel Moyn</i><span style="font-family: verdana;"> - "Critical theory's generational predicament" [</span><a href="https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/1467-8675.12730?domain=author&token=X8FMCXVEJEEIH7HN4MCG" style="font-family: verdana;" target="_blank">Link</a><span style="font-family: verdana;">]</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">Excerpt: "(....) it seems clear that the principal cause of the lack of interest in critical theory for younger generations - the lack of zeal to perpetuate or even study it - is that the votaries of the tradition conformed unreflectively to “the end of history” in the 1990s. They had essentially nothing to say about American unipolarity and the militarism that has so clearly accompanied it. Worse, for one-time Marxists, they never formulated an analysis or critique of economic neoliberalism.

It is by pursuit of that topic that the Institute’s engagements over the decades of my own academic career have figured, importantly for me, in my work (not generally classified as “Frankfurt School”) on liberal constitutional theory. Most pointedly it has done so in undertakings by Jürgen Habermas to explicate a moral point of view from which citizens in a political society encounter one another as each a free and equal person commanding full respect as such - but to explicate that morality, as I have sought to explain, not as a view “that philosophy independently discovers,” but rather as one that lies embedded in a historically particular social totality."</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">* <i>Cristina Lafont </i>- "<a href="https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/1467-8675.12728" target="_blank">The return of the critique of ideologies</a>" [open access]</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">Excerpt: "(....) I shall focus on just one issue: the recent revival in critiques of ideology. In my view, this type of critique is an important task of critical theory and remains one of its most significant legacies. Yet, if one focuses on the work of critical theorists over the past decades, this statement is far from obvious. In fact, the second generation of the Frankfurt school,most notably Habermas in his <i>Theory of Communicative Action</i>, explicitly rejects ideology critique as obsolete in the context of contemporary societies. Even though in the 1960s and 1970s, he had embraced the classicalMarxist approach to ideology critique, he ultimately rejected it. It was the explicit attempt to rebut objections that had plagued this approach that brought about the so-called “democratic turn” of critical theory characteristic of Habermas’s work from the 1980s onward and in which the critique of ideologies no longer plays a role."</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">* <i>Christopher F.

To be sure, we need not ignore the conceptual resources and insights of our tradition when they are relevant and enlightening. But we need to take interdisciplinarity seriously by looking to the much broader currents of critical thought on social formations and the changing horizons of human emancipation."</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">* <i>Peter E. Gordon</i> - "The animating impulses of critical theory"</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">Excerpt: "For some readers, this generational shift - between the first and second generations of critical theory - is overdramatized into a stark contrast between totalizing negativism and restorationist optimism, both of which seem to hover at too great an altitude above social reality. Needless to say, this contrast does an injustice to both parties. Adorno and Horkheimer are far more committed to reason’s self-reflective possibilities, while Habermas remains far more attentive to reason’s systemic distortion. They converge at a point of dialectical mediation, whereas neither pure negativism nor pure idealism would serve as a viable groundwork for critical theory. In what follows I wish to suggest that Horkheimer’s original model of social philosophy, as animated by a <i>rational but materialist</i> ideal of emancipation, still has enduring merit."</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">* <i>William E. Scheuerman</i> - "Horkheimer's unrealized vision"</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">Excerpt: "Horkheimer’s idea of a mutually constructive exchange between philosophy and critical social science has too often been rare and ephemeral. And this should worry us if you believe, as this author does, that Horkheimer was right to see such an exchange as indispensable to critical theory. (....) Only in 1962 did Habermas, in an appropriately <i>interdisciplinary</i> study that relied heavily on research from legal scholars, political scientists, and sociologists, begin to revitalize Frankfurt critical theory. Not only did his landmark <i>Structural Transformation of the Public Sphere</i> take the social sciences seriously, but its young author seems to have implicitly grasped that critical theory could only flourish on the basis of an authentically cooperative, mutually beneficial relationship between philosophy and the social sciences. Horkheimer’s original interdisciplinary </span><span style="font-family: verdana;">vision clearly inspired the young Habermas. When properly reconstructed, it should inspire us today as well."</span></p><div><br /></div>Thomas Gregersenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11528276338463425307noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8093952125520595733.post-50387563197977125332023-12-05T23:04:00.004+01:002023-12-10T17:22:35.505+01:00Habermas on Martin Seel<p><span style="font-family: verdana;"> A new essay by Jürgen Habermas:</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">"<b><a href="https://meiner-elibrary.de/article/3118/sich-bestimmen-lassen" target="_blank">Sich-bestimmen-Lassen. Zum philosophischen Grundgedanken von Martin Seel</a></b>"</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">(Zeitschrift für Ästhetik und Allgemeine Kunstwissenschaft, vol. 68, no. 2 (2023), pp. 68-87).</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">The essay was written in the spring of 2020.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><u>Abstract</u></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">With a philosopher like Martin Seel, reflecting this closely on the literary form in which to present his ideas, it is not surprising that philosophy of language makes for a focus of interest. Since my own interest also points in this direction, I will start with Seel’s groundbreaking essay on literal and figurative speech (I). I will then deal with the concept of "letting oneself be determined" as the pivotal point of Martin Seel’s philosophy (II). The resulting pragmatist understanding of sociocultural forms of life has important consequences for the way in which Seel detranscendentalizes Kant’s epistemology (III). Finally, I will critically examine the conception of a practical philosophy developing aesthetics and morality out of the fundamental question of ethics (IV). In this conception, a self-image of philosophy oriented towards the unity of the true, the good and the beautiful. In my opinion, however, Martin Seel neglects history as a dimension in which reason leaves its traces (V).</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><u>Excerpt</u></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span lang="DE">"Martin Seel nimmt weder moralische Freiheit noch Emanzipation unter die Modi des Sich-bestimmen-Lassens auf. Ich vermute, dass er zu sehr Ästhetiker und zu sehr Wittgensteinianer ist, um die <i>Dimension der Geschichte</i> als Verlaufsform einer für Gerechtigkeit prozessierenden Vernunft angemessen zu berücksichtigen."</span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span lang="DE">"Auch diese Art
von Autonomie kann noch als eine Gestalt des Sich-bestimmen-Lassens verstanden
werden, wenn nicht gar als dessen Modell. Denn Kant begreift Autonomie genau
nach dieser Denk</span>fi<span lang="DE">gur als die
Freiheit, sich im Handeln von den Geboten der praktischen Vernunft "binden" zu
lassen. In diesem mysteriösen Kern des "Sich-binden-Lassens" vereinigt sich
allerdings das Moment des Sich-von-vernünftiger-Einsicht-bestimmen-Lassens mit
der Anerkennung eines kategorischen Sollens, das über die bloße Ö</span>ff<span lang="DE">nung gegenüber dem, was mir geschieht,
hinausweist. Mit diesem <i>überschießenden</i>, über das Bestehende idealisierend
hinausweisenden Charakter des Gesollten entsteht das Bewusstsein, dass es an
uns liegt, keinen Fehler zu machen. Im Vergleich zu jener Ermächtigung und
Bestimmung, die das kommunikativ handelnde Subjekt einerseits durch seine
Sprachkompetenz und andererseits durch den jeweils aktuellen sowie den
einsozialisierten lebensweltlichen Kontext erfährt und durch sich hindurch zur
Wirkung kommen lässt, nimmt im Falle moralischer Forderungen mit der Schwelle
möglicher Verfehlungen die Zumutung einer <i>Selbst</i>ermächtigung dramatisch zu.
Daher gibt es zwischen diesen beiden Alternativen der Zustimmung des
subjektiven Geistes zur Ermächtigung durch den objektiven Geist auf der einen,
und der Einwilligung des subjektiven Geistes in die Zumutung des objektiven
Geistes auf der anderen Seite ein Mittleres, das man erst versteht, wenn man
wie Marx auch den Charakter der schon angedeuteten Naturwüchsigkeit des
objektiven Geistes in Rechnung stellt, der den subjektiven Geist "mit Gründen
täuschen" kann. Wie sich der subjektive Geist von diesen Fesseln des objektiven
Geistes befreien kann, zeigt sich freilich nur in seltenen Augenblicken der
Emanzipation. Auch diese vollzieht sich im Modus des Sich-bestimmen-Lassens
zugleich an und mit dem subjektiven Geist und beleuchtet sowohl in der
Lebensgeschichte des Einzelnen wie auch in der Geschichte der Völker <i>ein
Mittleres</i> zwischen den Konventionen des Alltags und den Herausforderungen zu
moralisch bewusstem Handeln. Und zwar sind das die Momente einer
leidenschaftlich inspirierten, jedoch zugleich getriebenen Befreiung – sei es
zur Autonomie des Heranwachsenden, sei es zur Erringung institutionalisierter
und rechtlich <i>gesicherter Freiheiten</i>. Diese Verwicklung in Prozesse einer "Freiheit im Werden" ist ein Modus des Sich-bestimmen-Lassens diesseits der
Moral und des schon geltenden Rechts. Solche Momente einer durch
lebensgeschichtliche oder gesellschaftliche Krisen beglaubigten und
legitimierten Befreiung vergessen sich auch dann nicht, wenn eine Revolte
kurzfristig scheitern sollte – wie zurzeit jene bewegenden, hartnäckig
durchgehaltenen Proteste der unbeugsamen belarussischen Frauen, ja, überwiegend
Frauen, die mit Blumen in den Händen den hemmungslos prügelnden Schlägern eines
repressiven Regimes selbstbewusst die Stirne bieten."</span></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div>Thomas Gregersenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11528276338463425307noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8093952125520595733.post-78306143231220603552023-12-03T21:17:00.001+01:002023-12-03T21:20:08.144+01:00Weithman on stability in a Rawlsian theory of liberal democracy <p><span style="font-family: verdana;">A new paper by <a href="https://philosophy.nd.edu/people/faculty/paul-weithman/" target="_blank">Paul Weithman</a> (University of Notre Dame):</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">"<b><a href="https://rdcu.be/dqOFT" target="_blank">Stability and Equilibrium in Political Liberalism</a></b>" [read access]</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">(forthcoming in "Philosophical Studies")</span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgT-9yEkFVXrqlyfoL0SzADP5oefoGLs8kUd_M7ljOCYf6i6T5FsAoQPgUDdaccCIkpmo9tqhoVUgxiGL9x-kO-4SU2jhQv-zkL-aO_prNW41i_x-A17WG2KiIZXRf1HYjzcDvxw-f_pulOHxuZO1pewE1TxKutEQE92V47jmc2hIWuwIFSXjbyY2f7QK8/s927/paul%20weithman.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="692" data-original-width="927" height="299" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgT-9yEkFVXrqlyfoL0SzADP5oefoGLs8kUd_M7ljOCYf6i6T5FsAoQPgUDdaccCIkpmo9tqhoVUgxiGL9x-kO-4SU2jhQv-zkL-aO_prNW41i_x-A17WG2KiIZXRf1HYjzcDvxw-f_pulOHxuZO1pewE1TxKutEQE92V47jmc2hIWuwIFSXjbyY2f7QK8/w400-h299/paul%20weithman.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><br /><p></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">Thanks to Paul Weithman for sharing!</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">See also: </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">* Samuel Freeman - "<a href="https://www.cambridge.org/core/books/abs/rawlss-a-theory-of-justice-at-50/reasonable-political-conceptions-and-the-wellordered-liberal-society/57574D28BE179DD23049A12635B13D6A" target="_blank">Reasonable political conceptions and the well-ordered liberal society</a>", in Paul Weithman (ed.), <u>Rawls's Theory of Justice at 50</u> (Cambridge University Press, 2023).

We believe that amidst all the conflicting views being expressed, there are some <b>principles</b> that should not be disputed. They are the basis of a rightly understood solidarity with Israel and Jews in Germany.</span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">The Hamas massacre with the declared intention of eliminating Jewish life in general has prompted Israel to strike back. How this <b>retaliation, which is justified in principle</b>, is carried out is the subject of controversial debate; <b>principles of proportionality, the prevention of civilian casualties and the waging of a war with the prospect of future peace must be the guiding principles</b>. Despite all the concern for the fate of the Palestinian population, however, the standards of judgement slip completely when genocidal intentions are attributed to Israel’s actions.</span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">In particular, Israel’s actions in no way justify anti-Semitic reactions, especially not in Germany. It is intolerable that Jews in Germany are once again exposed to threats to life and limb and have to fear physical violence on the streets. The democratic ethos of the Federal Republic of Germany, which is orientated towards the obligation to respect human dignity, is linked to a political culture for which Jewish life and Israel’s right to exist are central elements worthy of special protection in light of the mass crimes of the Nazi era. The commitment to this is fundamental to our political life. The elementary rights to freedom and physical integrity as well as to protection from racist defamation are indivisible and apply equally to all. All those in our country who have cultivated anti-Semitic sentiments and convictions behind all kinds of pretexts and now see a welcome opportunity to express them uninhibitedly must also abide by this."</span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><u>Update</u>:</span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">See also Nicole Deitelhoff's comments on <a href="https://twitter.com/NDeitelhoff/status/1725538516224884864" target="_blank">X/Twitter</a>.</span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">+ podcast from “<a href="https://parallaxviews.podbean.com/e/mosesbeorn/" target="_blank">Parallax Views</a>” with A.

To pay homage to this current of thought, this contributed volume aims to make the archives speak for themselves, to show the public the quantity of unpublished material still existing by the authors of the Critical Theory which are now in funds in different parts of the world (in Germany, in Italy, or in the United States), and to show that Critical Theory remains alive 100 years after its inception.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">The volume starts by presenting the archives of Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels, the thinkers who inspired Critical Theory, and the archives of the Institute for Social Research itself. Then it dedicates separate sections to the archives of Walter Benjamin, Max Horkheimer, Theodor W. Adorno, Friedrich Pollock, Herbert Marcuse, Leo Löwenthal and Jürgen Habermas. The book is composed of chapters written by researchers and editors who worked in the different fonds, as well as chapters written by or interviews with researchers who were or are in charge of some of the archives, or who are especially familiar with the material.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><u>Contents</u> [<a href="https://books.google.dk/books?id=wFTaEAAAQBAJ&pg=PA3&lpg=PA3&dq=The+Archives+of+Critical+Theory+Isabelle+Aubert+%26+Marcos+Nobre&source=bl&ots=QJSJNVt3sa&sig=ACfU3U3P_8tPaCMMNYMGqZjQ0bhxvZj02Q&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjWoMaYoZuCAxWnQ_EDHT0IBfI4ChDoAXoECAIQAw#v=onepage&q=The%20Archives%20of%20Critical%20Theory%20Isabelle%20Aubert%20%26%20Marcos%20Nobre&f=false">preview</a>]</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">Introduction: Researching the Archives of Critical Theory [<a href="https://books.google.dk/books?id=wFTaEAAAQBAJ&pg=PA3&lpg=PA3&dq=The+Archives+of+Critical+Theory+Isabelle+Aubert+%26+Marcos+Nobre&source=bl&ots=QJSJNVt3sa&sig=ACfU3U3P_8tPaCMMNYMGqZjQ0bhxvZj02Q&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjWoMaYoZuCAxWnQ_EDHT0IBfI4ChDoAXoECAIQAw#v=onepage&q=The%20Archives%20of%20Critical%20Theory%20Isabelle%20Aubert%20%26%20Marcos%20Nobre&f=false" target="_blank">preview</a>] - <i>Isabelle Aubert & Marcos Nobre</i> </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">Publishing Marx-Engels-Nachlass: Archive, Editions, and Theoretical Implications [<a href="https://books.google.dk/books?id=wFTaEAAAQBAJ&pg=PA3&lpg=PA3&dq=The+Archives+of+Critical+Theory+Isabelle+Aubert+%26+Marcos+Nobre&source=bl&ots=QJSJNVt3sa&sig=ACfU3U3P_8tPaCMMNYMGqZjQ0bhxvZj02Q&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjWoMaYoZuCAxWnQ_EDHT0IBfI4ChDoAXoECAIQAw#v=onepage&q=The%20Archives%20of%20Critical%20Theory%20Isabelle%20Aubert%20%26%20Marcos%20Nobre&f=false" target="_blank">preview</a>] - <i>Olavo Ximenes</i> </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">Into the Walter Benjamin Archive: An Interview with Ursula Marx - <i>Fernando Bee</i></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">Benjamin Anarchivist - <i>Antonin Wiser</i> </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">The Attitude of the German People: The Institute of Social Research Archive as Contemporary History - <i>Dirk Braunstein & Maischa Gelhard </i></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">The Role of Empirical Research in Theodor W.

This volume of new essays marks the 50th anniversary of its publication with a multi-faceted exploration of Rawls's most important book. A team of distinguished contributors reflects on Rawls's achievement in essays on his relationship to modern political philosophy and 20th-century economic theory, on his Kantianism, on his transition to political liberalism, on his account of public reason and contemporary challenges to it, on his theory's implications for problems of racial justice, on democracy and its fragility, and on Rawls's enduring legacy. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><u>Contents</u> </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">Introduction [<a href="https://books.google.dk/books?id=LWXOEAAAQBAJ&printsec=frontcover&source=gbs_ge_summary_r&cad=0#v=onepage&q&f=false" target="_blank">preview</a>] - Paul Weithman </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">Part I: Rawls and History</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">1.
