Die Arbeit vergewissert sich der Bedeutung der teils willkürlichen, teils notwendigen Positivität des äußeren Rechts nach der Rechtslehre Kants. Sie erschließt sich deshalb die in diesem Werk aufgewiesene Wirklichkeit des praktischen Begriffs der Freiheit des Willens im äußeren Verhältnis der Menschen untereinander. Die Rechtslehre wird somit insgesamt als ein »System der Erkenntnis aus reinen Begriffen« interpretiert und damit erstmals die ihr zugrunde liegende verstandesbegriffliche Verfassung entschlüsselt. Entstanden ist ein nahezu durchgängiger Textkommentar, der den metaphysischen (d. h. rein begrifflichen) Anspruch des Werkes ernst nimmt, indem er den gedanklichen Gehalt durch die Nachzeichnung der Kantischen Methode philosophischer Erkenntnis gewinnt. Beiläufig beglaubigt sich dabei, dass die originale Textgestalt der Rechtslehre nichts weniger als korrupt ist. In ihr erscheint vielmehr die streng durchkomponierte Entwicklung des Rechtsbegriffs in seiner Totalität als Rechtsidee. / »On the Positivity of Law in Immanuel Kant's Theory of Natural Law. A Study on the Metaphysical Notion of Provisory Juridical Possession« -- This book outlines the meaning of the positivity of external law according to Kant's Doctrine of Right, which is inevitably arbitrary in one part, yet necessary in another. It reveals Kants demonstration of the reality of the practical notion of freedom in the external relation of men. An interpretation of the Doctrine of Right as a »system of cognition from pure concepts« therefore allows to decode its conceptual constitution for the first time.

This book engages with human rights and human rights education (HRE) in ways that offer opportunities for criticality and renewal. It takes up various ideas, from critical and decolonial theories to philosophers and intellectuals, to theorize the renewal of HRE as Critical Human Rights Education. The point of departure is that the acceptable "truths" of human rights are seldom critically examined, and productive interpretations for understanding and acting in a world that is soaked in the violations these rights try to address, cannot emerge. The book cultivates a critical view of human rights in education and beyond, and revisits receivable categories of human rights to advance social-justice-oriented educational praxes. It focuses on the ways that issues of human rights, philosophy, and education come together, and how a critical project of their entanglements creates openings for rethinking human rights education (HRE) both theoretically and in praxis. Given the persistence of issues of human rights worldwide, this book will be useful to researchers and educators across disciplines and in numerous parts of the world.

Der Anarchismus - verstanden als Theorie und Praxis der Herrschaftslosigkeit - verfügt über eine lange und mannigfaltige Geschichte und Tradition. Durch seine Vielfalt und indem er starre Konzepte und Dogmen ablehnt, kann er sich an veränderte äußere Bedingungen anpassen, weshalb er auch im 21. Jahrhundert eine innovative Gesellschaftsphilosophie darstellt. Der vorliegende Band leistet einen Beitrag zur anarchistischen Debatte der Gegenwart, indem er aus unterschiedlichen Blickwinkeln das Verhältnis von Anarchie und Ordnung ergründet. Nebst Texten zu den Grundlagen anarchistischer Organisation und zu klassischen und aktuellen anarchistischen Ordnungsmodellen finden sich Beiträge, in denen die historische Wirklichkeit des politischen Anarchismus als auch seiner Vorläufer erforscht wird. Außerdem enthält der Band Texte zu Anarchie, Ordnung und Herrschaft aus philosophischer Perspektive sowie Texte, die das Verhältnis von Anarchie, Anarchismus und rechtlicher Ordnung beleuchten. / "Anarchism as Order Without Domination?" - The present volume contributes to the anarchist debate of the present by exploring the relationship between anarchy and order from different points of view. In addition to contributions on the foundations of anarchist organization and classic and current anarchist models of order, there are contributions on anarchy, order and domination from a philosophical perspective, as well as articles that illuminate the relationship between anarchy, anarchism and legal order

Presenting the economy as a place where human happiness is as paramount as profit, is a utopia. This truism is, however, confronted by the actual situation of our economy today. In this book, we find a plea for economic practices as elaborated in the Social Economy, the Purpose Economy, and the Economy of Communion.

This book examines the surprising ramifications of Kant's late account of practical reason's obligatory ends as well as a revolutionary implication of his theory of property. It thereby sheds new light on Kant's place in the history of modern moral philosophy. Jeffrey Edwards, Stony Brook University, New York, USA.

The debate between moral realism and antirealism plays an important role in contemporary metaethics as well as in the interpretation of Kant's moral philosophy. This volume aims to clarify whether, and in what sense, Kant is a moral realist, an antirealist, or something in-between. Based on an explication of the key metaethical terms, internationally recognized Kant scholars discuss the question of how Kant's moral philosophy should be understood in this regard. All camps in the metaethical field have their inhabitants: Some contributors read Kant's philosophy in terms of a more or less robust moral realism, objectivism, or idealism, and some of them take it to be a version of constructivism, constitutionism, or brute antirealism. In any case, all authors introduce and defend their terminology in a clear manner and argue thoughtfully and refreshingly for their positions. With contributions of Stefano Bacin, Jochen Bojanowski, Christoph Horn, Patrick Kain, Lara Ostaric, Fred Rauscher, Oliver Sensen, Elke Schmidt, Dieter Schönecker, and Melissa Zinkin.

"Au premier abord, les visées et les méthodes philosophiques de Spinoza et de Sartre semblent radicalement différentes. Or, ces différences radicales se trouvent dépassées dès qu'on se penche sur une problématique commune à ces deux philosophes : la production et le maintien de la communauté libre. Une interrogation philosophique sur la question de l'articulation de l'éthique et de la politique nous donnera la possibilité d'évaluer ces philosophes comme les constituants d'une certaine théorie anticontractualiste se fondant spécifiquement sur l'idée de l'émancipation perpétuelle de l'individu dans et par la communauté."--Page 4 of cover

We live in critical times. We face a global crisis in economics and finance, a global ecological crisis, and a constant barrage of international disputes. Perhaps most dishearteningly, there seems to be little faith in our ability to address such difficult problems. However, there is also a more positive sense in which these are critical times. The world's current state of flux gives us a unique window of opportunity for shaping a new international order that will allow us to cope with current and future global crises.In Critical Theory in Critical Times, eleven of the most distinguished critical theorists offer new perspectives on recent crises and transformations of the global political and economic order. Essays from Jürgen Habermas, Seyla Benhabib, Cristina Lafont, Rainer Forst, Wendy Brown, Christoph Menke, Nancy Fraser, Rahel Jaeggi, Amy Allen, Penelope Deutscher, and Charles Mills address pressing issues including international human rights and democratic sovereignty, global neoliberalism, novel approaches to the critique of capitalism, critical theory's Eurocentric heritage, and new directions offered by critical race theory and postcolonial studies. Sharpening the conceptual tools of critical theory, the contributors to Critical Theory in Critical Times reveal new ways of expanding the diverse traditions of the Frankfurt School in response to some of the most urgent and important challenges of our times.

Anton Marty (Schwyz, 1847–Prague, 1914) contributed significantly to some of the central themes of Austrian philosophy. This collection contributes to assessing the specificity of his theses in relation with other Austrian philosophers. Although strongly inspired by his master, Franz Brentano, Marty developed his own theory of intentionality, understood as a sui generis relation of similarity. Moreover, he established a comprehensive philosophy of language, or "semasiology", based on descriptive psychology, and in which the utterer's meaning plays a central role, anticipating Grice's pragmatic semantics. The present volume, including sixteen articles by scholars in the field of the history of Austrian philosophy and in contemporary philosophy, aims at exposing some of Marty's most important contributions in philosophy of mind and language, but also in other fields of research such as ontology and metaphysics. As archive material, the volume contains the edition of a correspondence between Marty and Hans Cornelius on similarity. This book will interest scholars in the fields of the history of philosophy in the 19th and 20th centuries, historians of phenomenology, and, more broadly, contemporary theoretical philosophers.
