The aim of this book is to reflect on the complex practice of responsibility within the context of a globalised world and contemporary means of action. Levinas' exploration of the ethical serves as point of entry and is shown to be seeking inter-cultural political relevance through engagement with the issues of postcoloniality and humanism. Yet, Levinas fails to realise the ethical implications of the inevitable instrumental mediation between ethical meaning and political practice. With recourse to Weber, Apel and Ricoeur, Ernst Wolff proposes a theory of strategic co-responsibility for the un

PPP haben sich in Deutschland und international als wünschenswerte Beschaffungsalternative der Öffentlichen Hand etabliert. Dabei spielt vor allem die Kosteneffizienz gegenüber der Eigenerstellung durch die Öffentliche Hand eine Rolle. Aber bewirtschaften private Unternehmen staatlich geschützte Monopole auf Zeit wirklich effizient? Und wenn ja, wie viel effizienter könnte dann eine marktliche Bereitstellung sein? Erwirtschaften PPP wirklich Mehrwert für den Bürger oder sind sie verstecktes Mittel zusätzlicher Besteuerung? Und sind (beinahe) insolvente öffentliche Haushalte wirklich ein starker Verhandlungspartner gegenüber weltweit agierenden Baukonzernen? Sarah Wolff gibt Antworten auf diese und andere Fragen.

Robert Nozick's Anarchy, State and Utopia is one of the works which dominates contemporary debate in political philosophy. Drawing on traditional assumptions associated with individualism and libertarianism, Nozick mounts a powerful argument for a minimal nightwatchman' state and challenges the views of many contemporary philosophers, most notably John Rawls. Jonathan Wolff's new book is the first full-length study of Nozick's work and of the debates to which it has given rise. He situates Nozick's work in the context of current debates and examines the traditions which have influenced his thought. He then critically reconstructs the key arguments of Anarchy, State and Utopia, focusing on Nozick's Doctrine of Rights, his Derivation of the Minimal State, and his Entitlement Theory of Justice. The book concludes by assessing Nozick's place in contemporary political philosophy.
