First Published in 1988, Richard Dien Winfield's The Just Economy
investigates what the economy should be, undertaking a normative
inquiry ignored by contemporary economists. Drawing upon Hegel's
Philosophy of Right, Winfield's book shows how justice lies in
self-determination, how the economy can realize social freedom, and
how economic relations must be regulated to uphold family welfare,
equal economic opportunity, and political autonomy. Exposing the
pitfalls in past attempts to conceive economic justice, including
those of ancient Greek philosophers, social contract thinkers, the
classical political economists, and Marx, The Just Economy settles
the controversy between capitalism, socialism, and communism. It is
crucial reading for thinkers and citizens the world over.
This title was first published in 2001. Autonomy and Normativity
explores central topics in current philosophical debate,
challenging the prevailing post-modern dogma that theory, practice
and art are captive to contingent historical foundations by showing
how foundational dilemmas are overcome once validity is recognized
to reside in self-determination. Through constructive arguments
covering the principal topics and controversies in epistemology,
ethics, and aesthetics, Autonomy and Normativity demonstrates how
truth, right and beauty can retain universal validity without
succumbing to the mistaken Enlightenment strategy of seeking
foundations for rational autonomy. Presenting a compact, yet
comprehensive statement of a powerful and provocative alternative
to the reigning orthodoxies of current philosophical debate,
Richard Winfield employs Hegelian techniques and focus to object to
opponents, and presents a radical and systematic critique of the
work of mainstream thinkers including Kant, Rawls, Husserl,
Habermas and others. The ramifications for the legitimation of
modernity are thoroughly explored, in conjunction with an analysis
of the fate of theory, practice and art in the modern world. This
book offers an invaluable resource for students of both analytic
and continental philosophical traditions, and related areas of law,
social theory and aesthetics.
