Civic Engagement in Higher Education Institutions in Europe
Over the last decade, the concept of Civic Engagement in Higher Education Institutions (HEI) has led to lively discussions. This special issue about Civic Engagement in HEI in Europe presents workshop reports and scientific papers which have an implicit statement in common: we need to talk concrete and analytical about Civic Engagement activities, approaches and programs on a European and national level without celebrating only normative believes and visions. Furthermore, the contributions describe the starting point of a new field of empirical and theory oriented research.
Qualitative Freedom - Autonomy in Cosmopolitan Responsibility
In the light of growing political and religious fundamentalism, this open access book defends the idea of freedom as paramount for the attempt to find common ethical ground in the age of globality. The book sets out to examine as yet unexhausted ways to boost the resilience of the principle of liberalism. Critically reviewing the last 200 years of the philosophy of freedom, it revises the principle of liberty in order to revive it. It discusses many different aspects that fall under its three main topics: the metaphysics of freedom, quantitative freedom and qualitative freedom. Open societies worldwide have come under increasing pressure in the last decades. The belief that politics and mark...

Qualitative Freiheit
Gegen politische und religiöse Fundamentalisten verteidigt Claus Dierksmeier die Idee der Freiheit als Leitwert der Globalität. Individuelle Freiheit schließt aber Verantwortung für ihren sozial und ökologisch nachhaltigen Gebrauch ein. Dabei müssen wir abwägen, welche und wessen Freiheiten jeweils Vorrang erhalten sollen. Und hierbei, so zeigt Dierksmeier in historisch-systematischer Grundlegung, kommt es zuerst auf die Qualität - und nicht die Quantität - unserer Freiheiten an. Denn Freiheit heißt nicht, die Optionen einiger weniger zu maximieren, sondern die Chancen aller Weltbürger zu optimieren.
Kritik der digitalen Vernunft
Digitale Transformation ist mehr als eine technologische Innovation. Sie hat gewaltige soziale, politische und kulturelle Auswirkungen. Was bedeuten diese Veränderungen für uns Menschen und für unsere Zukunft? Was bedeutet digitale Identität? Gibt es so etwas wie eine Maschinenwürde oder gar eine digitale Religion? Welche Herausforderungen bieten digitale Arbeit und Politik? Und wie sollen wir ethisch mit der digitalen Welt umgehen? In seinem Buch zeigt Ulrich Hemel, dass eine Frage im Zentrum stehen muss: Fördert oder hemmt ein Werkzeug der digitalen Welt Menschlichkeit? Dieses Prinzip angewandter digitaler Humanität ist der Leitstern, dem wir in der digitalen Transformation folgen sollten. Denn die Verantwortung für unsere Zukunft liegt bei uns Menschen selbst.
Civic Responsibility and Higher Education
More than a century ago, John Dewey challenged the education community to look to civic involvement for the betterment of both community and campus. Today, the challenge remains. In his landmark book, editor Thomas Ehrlich has collected essays from national leaders who have focused on civic responsibility and higher education. Imparting both philosophy and working examples, Ehrlich provides the inspiration for innovative new programs in this essential area of learning.
Walls to Bridges
What do the religions and ideologies of the world have in common? Why should we focus first on their similarities rather than their differences? What's next in the evolution of the global ethic?Professor and theologian Hans Küng has devoted much of his life to answering these questions.A controversial figure, Küng achieved global notoriety in the late 60's when he became the first major Roman Catholic theologian of the 20th century to question the notion of papal infallibility. For this, he was stripped of his license to teach as a Roman Catholic theologian, but carried on teaching as a tenured professor of Ecumenical Theology at the University of Tübingen, Germany until his retirement in...
