"Toward a Global 'Thin' Community re-examines aspects of the
liberal-communitarian debate. While critical of both traditions,
this book argues that a coherent form of communitarianism is the
only plausible option for citizens today. Using the theories of
Friedrich Nietzsche and Michel Foucault, Olssen shows how we can
overcome traditional problems with communitarianism by using an
ethic of survival that he identifies in the writings of Nietzsche
and others to provide a normative framework for twenty-first
century politics at both national and global levels. "Thin"
communitarianism seeks to surmount traditional objections
associated with Hegel and Marx, and to safeguard liberty and
difference by applying a robust idea of democracy."
