Toward a Global Thin Community reexamines 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
Frederich Nietzsche and Michael 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 liberal objections
associated with Hegel and Marx, and to safeguard liberty and
difference by applying a robust idea of democracy. This work
examines many different themes within the debate, including liberal
autonomy, totalitarianism, and multiculturalism. It also considers
the work of liberal writers such as Frederic Hayek, Karl Popper,
and Isaiah Berlin.
