Em particular em seus textos anteriores a Luta por reconhecimento, Axel Honneth se vale com frequência do adjetivo substantivado "o social" (das Soziale), sem jamais explicitar diretamente o significado que lhe atribui. Todavia, este conceito, sempre pressuposto, tanto está na base de sua conhecida crítica do déficit sociológico da tradição crítica frankfurtiana quanto orienta clandestinamente todo o desenvolvimento de sua obra até o modelo maduro da reconstrução normativa. Trata-se, aqui, de um esforço de torná-lo explícito enquanto compromisso social-ontológico assumido pela teoria crítica honnethiana. Conclui-se que o social de Honneth é senão idêntico, ao menos coextensivo às normas se constituem a partir de interações de reconhecimento intersubjetivo, o que emprestará tanto a força relativa de seu modelo crítico quanto determinará seus limites.
Adorno’s negative dialectics wants to free the thought from the dictates of the system, taking position against the illusion to grasp the essence of reality by logic. Against that false idea of totality, Adorno devises a philosophy of fragment, a logic of disgregation that presupposes a different concept of totality: a fragmented, scattered and conflicting wholeness. The anti systematic thinking of Adorno is configured, however, as a systematic rejection of any systematic formulation: philosophy can at most claiming a pretension to truth by the practice of interpretation. A dialectic configuration of fragments of totality is at stake here: so, the arrangement of such fragments can both produce an image of reality endowed with meaning and also unfold through heterogeneous combinations that are not definitive, but always renewable from time to time. In Adorno’s reflection are so expressed two different instances which are complementary at the same time: on the one hand it represents the critical and negative element against the system and its hybris, on the other hand it expresses the need of the thought to go beyond and overcome that fragmentation, showing how the need of unity of the system is a need of the thought in itself.
However far we are from either in practice, basic global and intergenerational justice, including climate change mitigation, are taken to be theoretically compatible. If population grows as predicted, this could cease to be the case. This paper asks whether that tragic legacy can now be averted without hard or even tragic choices on population policy. Current generations must navigate between: a high-stakes gamble on undeveloped technology; violating human rights; demanding unbearable sacrifices of the already badly off; institutional unfairness across adults; institutional unfairness across children; failing to protect children’s basic interests; and threatening the autonomy of the family. We are not yet forced to choose between bequeathing a tragic choice and making one, by adopting basically unjust measures. However, even the remaining options present a morally hard choice. The fact we face it is yet another damning indictment on the combined actions and collective failures of the global elite.

Am 12. Januar 2015 schwärmten 58 ForscherInnen und Studierende, 31 aus Berlin, 27 aus Chemnitz, auf den Skatepark in der Dresdener Lingnerallee. Ziel der Aktion war es, mehr über die Proteste der "Patriotischen Europäer gegen die Islamisierung des Abendlandes" (Pegida) herauszufinden. Seit Oktober 2014 hatten sich in Dresden immer mehr Menschen unter diesem sperrigen Motto versammelt. Mit den Protesten wuchs auch die Kritik an den völkischen und rassistischen Deutungsmustern, die dort Raum griffen. Wer waren die Demonstrierenden? Was trieb sie auf die Straße? Wie verbreitet waren die Ressentiments, die in Reden, Sprechchören und auf Transparenten hör- und sichtbar waren? ...
In my paper, I intend firmly to criticize Taubes' interpretation of Benjamin's Theology as a modern form of Gnosticism (Benjamin as a modern Marcionit). In a positive way, I sustain rather the thesis that Benjamin's Messianism is in close connection with his conception of reason (“the sharpened axe of reason”) and, in particularly, with the paradoxical unity of Mysticism and Enlightenment, which, according to the famous definition of Adorno, distinguishes his thought. As a radically anti-magical and anti-mythical conception of the historical time, Benjamin's Messianism has to be considered as an original synthesis between motifs of the mystical tradition of the Jewish Kabbalah and motifs belonging to the rationalist tradition of the Jewish philosophy. Moving from Cohen's standpoint of a continuity between Maimonides and Kant, I consider therefore the affinity between his messianic conception of history and that of Benjamin. Both, Benjamin and Cohen, share, together with the reference to the a priori of the idea of justice, the reference to the Kantian connection between rationality and hope. Hence originates the non-eschatological Messianism of both. Motives of difference between Cohen and Benjamin’s messianic idea are to be found, conversely, in their different way to consider the idea of "the infinite task" and of its infinite fulfillment in the context of the historical time. Unlike the fundamentally ethical interpretation that Cohen gives of this relationship, Benjamin understands it ontologically in a monadological sense. This explains the constitutive relationship that exists, in Benjamin's philosophy, between Origin, Fragment and Revelation. In the light of this connection, Benjamin's messianic understanding of the historical time exceeds the Scholemian alternative between a restorative and a utopian conception of Messianism. Consequently, the Krausian motto “Ursprung ist das Ziel” (“The Origin is the Goal”) displays its truth in the idea of the messianic fragment or spark.
European energy policy dates back to the founding days of integration, yet the emergence of supranational governance is a recent development. The article examines the extent to which European policymakers have succeeded in building up governance capacity, and what the facilitating and impeding factors were that have shaped the governance mix. The conceptual framework differentiates between orders of governance in the multilevel context, and between policy modes involving hierarchical and non-hierarchical settings and varying actor constellations. The article finds that governance capacity has emerged where second order governance (institutional and procedural rules) is concerned, while first order governance (the concrete policy process) remains the remit of national and private actors. This becomes even more obvious once the interaction between policy modes is taken into account: governance networks enhance governance capacity in the area of competition policy and agency governance; self-regulation by industry constitutes a fall-back option in case of insufficient governance capacity on cross-border issues; soft governance helps to bridge multiple policy areas and levels of governance. The article concludes that second order governance may prove effective where it combines with hierarchy but that it may fail to overcome both trade-offs between contradicting goals and resistance at lower levels.
Dies ist der neunte Artikel unseres Blogfokus „Salafismus in Deutschland“.
Salafismus in Deutschland ist ein importiertes religiöses Phänomen, welches seine Wurzeln im arabischen Raum hat. Beobachtet man die deutsche Salafisten empirisch in ihren Predigten und Videoauftritten stellt man fest, dass sie ausschließlich arabisch-sprachige religiöse Auffassungen verwenden. Alle salafistischen transnationalen Schlüsselfiguren (mit wenigen Ausnahmen) sind ausschließlich arabische Muttersprachler und publizieren ihre Werke in arabischer Sprache. Die national und lokal wirkenden Akteure in Deutschland sind auf diese Werke bzw. Informationsquellen in ihren Predigten und ihrer Ausbildung angewiesen. Sie müssen daher der arabischen Sprache mächtig sein, damit sie ihre Autorität durch diese Werke legitimeren können. In diesem Zusammenhang stellen sich wichtige Fragen: Was lesen deutsche Salafisten, die kein Arabisch können, wenn sie sich mit authentischen Quellen über die salafistischen Ideologie oder Theologie beschäftigen wollen? Wo findet man Übersetzungen der Hauptwerke der salafistischen Ideologien? Welches authentische Lesematerial zu ideologischen oder theologischen Ansätzen kann beispielsweise ein Berliner Salafist bekommen?...
Ich bin Paris! Selbstverständlich gilt zuerst und zuletzt mein tiefstes Mitgefühl den Menschen in Paris. Für alle, denen geliebte Menschen für immer genommen wurden; für alle, deren körperliche und seelische Wunden nicht mehr verheilen werden und die sich nun in ihrer Existenz vielleicht für immer verängstigt und verunsichert fühlen. ...
