How can we understand long-term change in world politics better?
Based on readings of thinkers as diverse as Habermas, Foucault and
Luhmann, the contributors to this volume propose a framework for
understanding such change in terms of social evolution. They show
that processes of social learning and unlearning are key to
understanding the long-term historical evolution of complex
societies, and propose to approach these with the core concepts of
autonomization, hierarchical complexity, and co-evolution. Four
case studies illustrate this social evolutionary perspective to the
study of world politics, examining the evolution of forms of
organizing political authority, of conflicts, of diplomacy, of law
as boundary condition.
Jurgen Habermas is among the most influential philosophers of our
time. His diagnosis of contemporary society and concepts such as
the public sphere, communicative rationality, and cosmopolitanism
have influenced virtually all academic disciplines, spurred
political debates, and shaped intellectual life in Germany and
beyond for more than fifty years. In The Habermas Handbook, leading
Habermas scholars elucidate his thought, providing essential
insight into his key concepts, the breadth of his work, and his
influence across politics, law, the social sciences, and public
life. This volume offers a comprehensive overview and in-depth
analysis of Habermas's work in its entirety. Opening by examining
his intellectual biography, it goes on to illuminate the social and
intellectual context of Habermasian thought, such as the Frankfurt
School, speech-act theory, and contending theories of democracy.
The Handbook provides an extensive account of Habermas's individual
texts, ranging from his dissertation on Schelling to his most
recent writing about Europe. It illustrates the development of his
thought and its not infrequently controversial reception while
elaborating the central ideas of his work. The book also provides a
glossary of key terms and concepts, making the complexity of
Habermas's thought accessible to a broad readership.
Als praktische Philosophie ist der Pragmatismus an Prinzipien und
Mechanismen von Gesellschaft interessiert. Es geht im Kern darum,
diese Prinzipien und Mechanismen zu verstehen, Handlungsformen und
Institutionen mit Blick auf gesellschaftliche Probleme und deren
Behebung zu entwickeln und auf diesem Wege Gesellschaft
menschlicher, gerechter und demokratischer zu gestalten. Aus diesem
Grund scheint der Pragmatismus fur die kritische zeitgenoessische
Sozialwissenschaft von groesster Bedeutung. Der vorliegende Band
versammelt eine Reihe von Beitragen, die das Themenfeld
pragmatistischer Sozialforschung naher bestimmen. Diese lassen sich
in zwei Gruppen einteilen: Beitrage, die pragmatistische Theorien
und Methoden mit anderen Denktraditionen oder Forschungsansatzen
ins Gesprach bringen, sowie Beitrage, die pragmatistische
Perspektiven auf zeitgenoessische, gesellschaftliche Problemlagen
beziehen.
This unique work analyzes the crisis in modern society, building on
the ideas of the Frankfurt School thinkers. Emphasizing social
evolution and learning processes, it argues that crisis is mediated
by social class conflicts and collective learning, the results of
which are embodied in constitutional and public law. First, the
work outlines a new categorical framework of critical theory in
which it is conceived as a theory of crisis. It shows that the
Marxist focus on economy and on class struggle is too narrow to
deal with the range of social conflicts within modern society, and
posits that a crisis of legitimization is at the core of all
crises. It then discusses the dialectic of revolutionary and
evolutionary developmental processes of modern society and its
legal system. This volume in the Critical Theory and Contemporary
Society by a leading scholar in the field provides a new approach
to critical theory that will appeal to anyone studying political
sociology, political theory, and law.

Bekanntester deutscher Philosoph der Gegenwart. Seit mehr als
funfzig Jahren pragt Jurgen Habermas das intellektuelle Leben
Deutschlands und daruber hinaus. Mit seinem Werk nimmt er
entscheidenden Einfluss auf die Wissenschaften, auf Politik und
aktuelle gesellschaftliche Diskussionen. Neben einem UEberblick zur
Biografie stellt das Handbuch Habermas intellektuelle Kontexte, wie
z. B. die Frankfurter Schule, vor und beleuchtet die wichtigsten
Stationen seines komplexen Werkes. Der Schlussteil informiert uber
Begriffe und Konzepte, die sich durch das gesamte Werk ziehen.
This book brings together philosophers, social psychologists and
social scientists to approach contemporary social reality from the
viewpoint of solidarity. It examines the nature of different kinds
of solidarity and assesses the normative and explanatory potential
of the concept. Various aspects of solidarity as a special
emotionally and ethically responsive relation are studied: the
nature of collective emotions and mutual recognition,
responsiveness to others' suffering and needs, and the nature of
moral partiality included in solidarity. The evolution of norms of
solidarity is examined both via the natural evolution of the human
"social brain" and via the institutional changes in legal
constitutions and contemporary work life. This text will appeal to
students, scholars, and anyone interested in the interdisciplinary
topic of social solidarity.
In this volume the author, Hauke Brunkhorst, not only emphasizes
the well-known links between Adorno and the dialectical thinking of
Hegel and Marx, but also the connection between Adorno and Kant.
The book sheds light on Adorno's negative dialectic.
