Capitalism, Alienation and Critique
In Capitalism, Alienation and Critique Asger Sørensen offers a wide-ranging argument for the classical Critical Theory of the Frankfurt School, thus endorsing the dialectical approach of the original founders (Horkheimer, Adorno, Marcuse) and criticizing suggested revisions of later generations (Habermas, Honneth). Being situated within the horizon of the late 20th century Cultural Marxism, the main issue is the critique of capitalism, emphasizing experiences of injustice, ideology and alienation, and in particular exploring two fundamental subject matters within this horizon, namely economy and dialectics. Apart from in-depth discussions of classical political economy and Hegelian dialecti...
Cosmopolitanism, Migration and Universal Human Rights
This book describes the potential and challenges of cosmopolitanism from a philosophical and historical point of view. Through the prism of cosmopolitanism, this book considers how the recent surge in migration is affecting our current reality, while also taking stock of the contemporary potential of cosmopolitan ideas. It considers and compares the significance of religion and culture for the wider societal acceptance or rejection of refugees. Moreover, the book examines the European Court of Human Rights jurisprudence on immigration policies, non-refoulement, humanitarian law and gender. It presents empirically based research of a quantitative, qualitative and comparative nature regarding the determinants of attitudes towards cosmopolitanism and more generally concerning public opinion on migration issues, and reflects on conceptions of and attitudes towards citizenship, while also imagining new forms of citizenship. This book serves as a comprehensive overview and resource for migration scholars from the social sciences and the humanities, as well as students and other stakeholders in the fields of migration and human rights.
The Right of Sovereignty
This book examines the origins of the principle of sovereignty in the legal and political thought of its most influential theorist, Jean Bodin. It explores Bodin's creative synthesis of classical sources in philosophy, history, and the medieval legal science of Roman and canon law in crafting the rules governing state-centric politics.

Does the UN Model Still Work? Challenges and Prospects for the Future of Multilateralism
Composed of original articles from academics and policy notes from practitioners, this book attempts to draw up the state of multilateralism through the UN model and identify potential ways to address its challenges and shortcomings. The contributors question the role of multilateralism, sometimes accused of being fragmented, inefficient and unrepresentative, and its impact on global governance, democracy, trade and investment, the environment, and human rights. Since most of the authors are not from the UN system, the content of the contributions provides an external and more neutral assessment of the UN’s ability to continue to function today as a serious actor within a global movement in favor of a renewed form of multilateralism. Does the UN Model Still Work? Challenges and Prospects for the Future of Multilateralism is now available in paperback for individual customers.
Alienation. Recuperating the Classical Discussion of Marx et al.
Nowadays alienation is naturally discussed as an existential condition of human beings, but in the 20th century, a strong Marxist current claimed alienation to be implied by capitalism, in particular by private property and the social division of labor. Alienation should therefore be criticized as part of the critique of capitalism and political economy, and might therefore also possibly be overcome. Today, under the hegemony of neo-liberal capitalism, the basic logic of Marx’s idea of alienation is more relevant than ever, having, as is argued in this book, critical social as well as constructive pedagogical and political potential.

Naître à l’Excès
Merveille essentielle est le Neuf qui élargit la vie ! Alors que les désirs humains, vus par le Moi idéal comme des réalités, sont des opérations de sortie de soi par « en-haut », ils aboutissent à des déceptions par la rencontre du Réel. Retrouver la puissance de l’Enfance, comme catégorie non chronologique de la Naissance, ouvre à une donnée inépuisable de possibles interprétatifs devant le Transcendantal lui-même. Cet événementiel est de l’ordre de l’excès, un hors-sens qui étonne l’existence ancrée dans la chair historique et éprouvée « ici-bas » ! Au-delà du rêve et de l’extase, mais désirer davantage en tombant dans la voie royale. Une sortie du destin que l’on croyait écrit. L’ordre esthétique et l’ordre éthique ne sont que des passages de naissance. La Foi est un paradoxe. Celui-ci est seul en mesure de libérer le sujet postmoderne de la croyance comme de l’incroyance, et à l’amarrer à une autonomie qui n’encourage aucune servitude.
Comme si...
Un nourrisson suce son pouce et se comporte comme si c’était le sein maternel. Cette fiction est presque vitale dans les premiers temps de la vie. Viendront ensuite la tétine et les objets transitionnels qui joueront un rôle analogue de diversion. Ces fictions — l’enfant sait vaguement que le pouce ou le doudou ne sont pas sa mère — sont utiles, au moins durant un certain laps de temps. Les adultes aussi ont leurs fictions et, comme les enfants, ils admettent plus ou moins qu’il s’agit de pensées qui tiennent lieu de réalité, provisoirement ou durablement. De façon générale, d’ailleurs, nous n’avons pas d’accès direct à « la réalité » mais avons seulement un...
