Inheritance and the Right to Bequeath - Legal and Philosophical Perspectives (Hardcover): Hans-Christoph Schmidt Am Busch,... Inheritance and the Right to Bequeath - Legal and Philosophical Perspectives (Hardcover)

In every Western democracy today, inheritances have a very profound influence on people's lives. This motivates renewed scholarship on inheritance law by philosophy and the legal sciences. The present volume aims to contribute to some ongoing areas of inquiry while also filling some gaps in research. It is organized in a highly interdisciplinary way. In the thirteen chapters of the book, written by outstanding philosophers and legal scholars, the following questions, among others, are discussed: What is the nature of the right to bequeath? What are the social functions of bequest and inheritance? What arguments concerning justice have philosophers and legal scholars advanced in favour or against practices of bequest and inheritance? How should we think about taxing the wealth transfers that occur in bequest and inheritance? In discussing these questions, the authors break new ground and offer much needed insight into several related domains, such as the philosophy of law; legal theory; general and applied ethics; social and political philosophy; theories of justice; and the history of legal, political, and economic thought. This book will be of great interest to scholars in these areas as well as policy-makers.

The theory of recognition is now a well-established and mature research paradigm in philosophy, and it is both influential in and influenced by developments in other fields of the humanities and social sciences. From debates in moral philosophy about the fundamental roots of obligation, to debates in political philosophy about the character of multicultural societies, to debates in legal theory about the structure and justification of rights, to debates in social theory about the prospects and proper objects of critical theory, to debates in ontology, philosophical anthropology and psychology about the structure of personal and group identities, theories based on the concept of intersubjective recognition have staked out central positions. At the same time, contemporary theories of recognition are strongly, perhaps indissociably, connected to themes in the history of philosophy, especially as treated in German idealism. This volume compromises a collection of original papers by eminent international scholars working at the forefront of recognition theory and provides an unparalleled view of the depth and diversity of philosophical research on the topic. Its particular strength is in exploring connections between the history of philosophy and contemporary research by combining in one volume full treatments of classical authors on recognition Rousseau, Kant, Fichte, Hegel, Marx, Freud with cutting edge work by leading contemporary philosophers of recognition, including Fraser, Honneth, and others."

The author shows why implementing the project of a critical social theory in the tradition of the Frankfurt School based on recognition theory can yield promising results. In this context, the category of recognition is of special value because by using recognition theory, social relationships can be both analyzed and criticized. This is shown in the exemplary interpretation of classical texts (Hegel, Marx, Habermas and others).

Die vorliegende Auswahl von Texten des franzosischen Sozialphilosophen und Gesellschaftstheoretikers Charles Fourier (1772-1837) hat zwei Schwerpunkte: Zum einen thematisiert sie die wesentlichen Aspekte und die gedankliche Struktur von Fouriers weitreichendem uvre; zum anderen macht sie verstandlich, welche Uberlegungen Fouriers fur heutige Theoretikerinnen und Theoretiker anregend oder anschlussfahig sind. Zu den Themen, die Fourier in den im vorliegenden Band publizierten Schriften behandelt, zahlen das Ideal einer exakten Sozialwissenschaft; die Grundlagen der Anthropologie; die neue Welt der Liebe und des Konsums; die Relevanz der Arbeit fur ein gelingendes Leben; die Grundstruktur nicht-entfremdeter Gesellschaften; sowie die Kritik an der Philosophie und den Gesellschaftswissenschaften, insbesondere der Okonomik. Zahlreiche der im Band versammelten Texte werden erstmals auf Deutsch veroffentlicht."

Theorien der "Anerkennung" zeichnen sich durch eine aussergewohnliche Leistungsstarke aus. In den letzten Jahren haben sie die Forschung auf den Gebieten der Moralphilosophie, der Politischen Philosophie und der Sozialphilosophie, aber auch auf denen der Psychologie und der Sozialwissenschaften sowohl thematisch als auch methodisch sehr stark bereichert. Viele dieser Theorien versuchen zudem, Uberlegungen, die von klassischen Autoren wie Fichte oder Hegel entwickelt wurden, fur die aktuelle Diskussion systematisch fruchtbar zu machen. Dieser Konstellation tragt der vorliegende Band Rechnung. Durch eine Verzahnung von systematischen und philosophiegeschichtlichen Uberlegungen leistet er einen wesentlichen Beitrag zur Losung und Weiterentwicklung aktueller anerkennungstheoretischer Probleme und Fragestellungen sowie zu einer Neuinterpretation klassischer philosophischer Texte. Aufgrund seines thematischen Zuschnitts ist das Buch nicht nur fur Philosophen, sondern auch fur Sozialwissenschaftler von grossem Interesse. Mit Beitragen von: J. Bernstein, D. Brudney, J.-Ph. Deranty, N. Fraser, A. Honneth, H. Ikaheimo, A. Laitinen, F. Neuhouser, T. Pinkard, M. Quante, E. Renault, H.-C. Schmidt am Busch, L. Siep, A. Wildt und Ch. F. Zurn"
