Mit seiner Theorie der Gerechtigkeit löste John Rawls
(1921–2002) eine Renaissance der normativen politischen Theorie
aus, da sie Fragen nach der gerechten Verteilung von GĂĽtern und
Chancen wieder als eine zentrale philosophische Aufgabe ernst nahm.
Es gilt als eines der einflussreichsten Werke der politischen
Philosophie des 20. Jahrhunderts und kann nach wie vor als
konstruktiver Beitrag zu aktuellen Diskussionen um
Verteilungsgerechtigkeit gesehen werden. Mit seinem zweiten
Hauptwerk Politischer Liberalismus hat er die Debatte eröffnet,
wie wir unter Bedingungen einer pluralistischen Gesellschaft auf
vernünftige Weise gemeinsam leben können. Das Werk von Rawls
besitzt eine zentrale Bedeutung fĂĽr die politische Philosophie der
Gegenwart und fĂĽr angrenzende Disziplinen wie
Sozialwissenschaften, Rechtswissenschaften oder Theologie. Das
Handbuch ist das erste deutschsprachige Nachschlagewerk, welches
auf dem aktuellen internationalen Forschungsstand das Gesamtwerk
von Rawls in seiner Entwicklung darstellt, zentrale Begriffe
erläutert und zudem die wichtigsten Referenzen und Diskussionen
vorstellt.
Preventing contributions to serious human rights violations in the
course of business activity is a matter of prime importance to the
international community. With a view to business actors providing
infrastructure, funding or other means for the commission of
crimes, this study presents concepts for assessing their individual
responsibility under the Rome Statute of the International Criminal
Court. To this end, the author expands upon foundational German
scholarship and scrutinizes the Court's jurisprudence on commission
and civilian superior responsibility, in particular its recourse to
the control over the crime theory. The book examines the necessity
to exempt socially valuable business activity from such
responsibility from a human rights perspective. An
interdisciplinary approach to the proposal to extend the Court's
jurisdiction to corporate actors identifies as a major obstacle to
statutory reform the unresolved conflict between diverging views on
the reality of organizations.
Science deeply challenges classical descriptions of the human
person as 'free' and as 'spirit'. This survey of contemporary
neuroscience and evolutionary biology explores why these challenges
have arisen. At the same time it finds in the religious dimension
of human existence powerful resources for speaking of the 'Emergenz
des Geistes' and of a deeper sense of human freedom.
