Essaying Montaigne

John O’Neill reads Montaigne’s Essays from their central principle of friendship as a communicative and pedagogical practice operative in society, literature and politics. The friendship between Montaigne and La Boétie was ruled neither by plenitude nor lack but by a capacity for recognition and transitivity. As an essayist Montaigne is an exemplary practitioner of a technique of difference and recognition that puts all certainties of history, philosophy and culture in the balance of weighted comparison. The essayist reveals how every absolute subjectivity or authority is shaken by its internal weakness once we move inside the contrastive structure of domination in politics, gender and ...

Jurgen Habermas

  • Publisher: Routledge

The most important intellectual in the Federal Republic of Germany for the past three decades, Habermas has been a seminal contributor to fields ranging from sociology and political science to philosophy and cultural studies. Although he has stood at the centre of concern in his native land, he has been less readily accepted outside Germany, particularly in the humanities. His theoretical work postulates the centrality of communication and understanding, and as such his strategy of debate is marked by a politically informed unity of theory and practice. Holub's book is the first detailed account of the major debates in which Habermas has engaged since the early sixties. It stems from the conviction that his critics have not understood the political strategy behind his various interventions, or the consistency that informs his intellectual activities. Habermas is viewed in dialogue with important philosophical, sociological and political currents in West Germany. Holub demonstrates how Habermas pursues a course that incorporates various aspects of his opponents' positions, while simultaneously defending perceived threats to democracy and open discussion.

Die Natur in unserer Kultur

Die Natur in unserer Kultur

"Die Natur in unserer Natur" legt dar, dass die heutigen "Umwelt"-Probleme nicht auf unzutreffender Wissenschaft beruhen, sondern die Konsequenz einer langen Entwicklung der westlichen Gesellschaft sind. Dieser Prozess gipfelt heute in einem Instrumentalismus, der den Menschen nahe legt, jedes Objekt ihrer Wahrnehmung hinsichtlich der Verwertbarkeit im täglichen Machtstreben zu prüfen. Keiner, zumal kein Wissenschaftler, lebt außerhalb dieser gesellschaftlichen Bedingung. Sixel schlägt vor, dass die Beziehung der modernen Gesellschaft zur Natur nur durch eine Kultur geändert werden kann, die sich selbst als eine Steigerung der Natur auf die Ebene des Symbolschaffens versteht. Diese Einsicht wurde anhand einer anthropologischen und soziologischen Analyse der heutigen Sozialstruktur gewonnen. Von da aus unterzieht Sixel Goethes Praxis und Begriff von Naturwissenschaft einer eingehenden Betrachtung und präsentiert sie in neuer Weise als Alternative zur vorherrschenden Wissenschaft.

Marx Neu Verstehen

Marx ist häufig missverstanden worden, weil man seine "Kritik der Politischen Ökonomie" als "übergeschichtliche Theorie" hingestellt hat. In der hier vorgelegten Studie zeigt Friedrich W. Sixel, dass Marx, statt von theoretischen Ideen auszugehen, Gesellschaft von ihren konkreten, materiellen Gegebenheiten her begreift. Bei einer Analyse der jetzt herrschenden Gesellschaftsordnung hätte er mit einiger Wahrscheinlichkeit hervorgehoben, dass in ihr der traditionelle Kapitalismus nicht abgeschafft, sondern in einen globalisierten "aufgehoben" worden ist und dadurch seine Widersprüche sich vertieft und verschärft haben.
