Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2005 im Fachbereich Ethik, Note: 1,0, Friedrich-Schiller-Universität Jena (Institut für Politikwissenschaft), Veranstaltung: Politik des Mitleids, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: 1. Einleitung Wie kaum ein anderer Philosoph hat Arnold Gehlen die deutsche Nachkriegskontroverse vom Standpunkt des Institutionalismus geprägt und es gebührt ihm der Verdienst einer detaillierten, sozio- anthropologisch fundierten Kritik der Zeitgesinnung. Er ist jedoch ebenfalls für die Humanitarismusdebatte des 20. Jahrhunderts, innerhalb derer er der Ausbreitung einer globalen, menschenfreundlichen Massenmoral zutiefst kritisch gegenüberstand, von Bedeutung. In seinen Augen steht der Humanitarismus in einem destruktiven Verhältnis zu Institutionen, allen voran dem Staat. Da es sich gemäß Gehlen bei diesen Institutionen für den instinktreduzierten, mängelbehafteten und effektgeladenen Menschen um lebensnotwendige Regelmuster handelte, hätte eine umgreifende „Moralhypertrophie“ fatale Auswirkungen. Sie ließe politische Tugenden verkümmern, sprenge die Grenzen der nationalen Identifikation, und zerstöre den Staat sowohl als ideologisches als auch institutionelles Konstrukt. Ohne aber das ausführliche ethische Programm, das hinter dieser umstrittenen und vieldiskutierten Ansicht steht zu kennen, wird man dem Philosophen Arnold Gehlen nicht gerecht. Die Monographie „Moral und Hypermoral. Eine pluralistische Ethik“ muss als wesentliche Ergänzung zu seinem Hauptwerk „Der Mensch. Seine Natur und seine Stellung in der Welt“ verstanden werden. Es soll im Folgenden untersucht werden, wie die Humanitarismuskritik in diesem Buch darzustellen und kritisch zu durchleuchten ist. Zudem wird der Versuch unternommen, die Argumentationsstruktur des Autors zu verdeutlichen und die verschiedenen Ebenen seiner Beweisführung aufzuzeigen. Dafür muss ebenso die Gehlensche Genealogie einer pluralistischen Ethik und deren Aufteilung in verschiedene Verhaltensregulationen skizziert werden, denn dies muss als seine gedankliche Voraussetzung für die Kritik am humanitaristischen Ethos verstanden werden. Am Schluss steht eine kritische Zusammenfassung, welche die Kernelemente der Gehlenschen Humanitarismuskritik herausstellen und von einem ethischen als auch politikphilosophischen Standpunkt auf ihre Schlüssigkeit und ihren Gehalt überprüfen soll.

Peter Viereck, poet and historian, is one of the principle theoreticians of conservatism in modern American political thought. In this classic work, Viereck undertakes a penetrating and unorthodox analysis of that quintessential conservative, Prince Metternich, and offers evidence that cultural and political conservatism may perhaps be best adapted to sustain a free and reasonable society.According to Viereck's definition, conservatism is not the enemy of economic reform or social progress, nor is it the oppressive instrument of the privileged few. Although conservatism has been attacked from the left and often discredited by exploitation from the right, it remains the historic name for a point of view vital to contemporary society and culture. Divided into three parts, the book opens with a survey of conservatism in its cultural context of classicism and humanism. Rejecting the blind alley of reaction, Viereck calls for a discriminating set of principles that include preservation through reform, self-expression through self-restraint, a fruitful nostalgia for the permanent beneath the flux, and a preference for historical continuity over violent rupture.Viereck locates our idea of Western political unity in Metternich's Concert of Europe whose goal was a cosmopolitan Europe united in peace. This ideal was opposed by both the violent nationalism that resulted in Nazism and the socialist internationalism that became a tool of Soviet Russian expansionism. While not ignoring the extremely negative aspects of Metternich's legacy, Viereck focuses on his attempts to tame the bellicosity of European nationalism and his little-known efforts to reform and modernize the Hapsburg Empire.

Whittaker Chambers is the first biography of this complex and enigmatic figure. Drawing on dozens of interviews and on materials from forty archives in the United States and abroad--including still-classified KGB dossiers--Tanenhaus traces the remarkable journey that led Chambers from a sleepy Long Island village to center stage in America's greatest political trial and then, in his last years, to a unique role as the godfather of post-war conservatism. This biography is rich in startling new information about Chambers's days as New York's "hottest literary Bolshevik"; his years as a Communist agent and then defector, hunted by the KGB; his conversion to Quakerism; his secret sexual turmoil; his turbulent decade at Time magazine, where he rose from the obscurity of the book-review page to transform the magazine into an oracle of apocalyptic anti-Communism. But all this was a prelude to the memorable events that began in August 1948, when Chambers testified against Alger Hiss in the spy case that changed America. Whittaker Chambers goes far beyond all previous accounts of the Hiss case, re-creating its improbably twists and turns, and disentangling the motives that propelled a vivid cast of characters in unpredictable directions. A rare conjunction of exacting scholarship and narrative art, Whittaker Chambers is a vivid tapestry of 20th century history.

Maverick political scientist Willmoore Kendall predicted the triumph of conservatism. Upon the 1963 publication of Kendall's The Conservative Affirmation, his former Yale student William F. Buckley, Jr. called him "one of the most superb and original political analysts of the 20th century," but even Buckley shook his head at what appeared to be Kendall's "baffling optimism." During the 60's, Kendall stood apart from the mainstream conservative movement which he accused of being anti-populist and of "storming American public opinion from without" by wrongly assuming that the American people were essentially corrupt and "always ready to sell their votes to the highest bidder." Kendall believed that Americans would come to actively realize the conservatism which they had always actually lived.

Ever since introducing the concept in the late 1980s, historians have been debating the origins, nature, scope, and limitations of the New Deal order—the combination of ideas, electoral and governing strategies, redistributive social policies, and full employment economics that became the standard-bearer for political liberalism in the wake of the Great Depression and commanded Democratic majorities for decades. In the decline and break-up of the New Deal coalition historians found keys to understanding the transformations that, by the late twentieth century, were shifting American politics to the right. In Beyond the New Deal Order, contributors bring fresh perspective to the historic meaning and significance of New Deal liberalism while identifying the elements of a distinctively "neoliberal" politics that emerged in its wake. Part I offers contemporary interpretations of the New Deal with essays that focus on its approach to economic security and inequality, its view of participatory governance, and its impact on the Republican party as well as Congressional politics. Part II features essays that examine how intersectional inequities of class, race, and gender were embedded in New Deal labor law, labor standards, and economic policy and brought demands for employment, economic justice, and collective bargaining protections to the forefront of civil rights and social movement agendas throughout the postwar decades. Part III considers the precepts and defining narratives of a "post" New Deal political structure, while the closing essay contemplates the extent to which we may now be witnessing the end of a neoliberal system anchored in free-market ideology, neo-Victorian moral aspirations, and post-Communist global politics. Contributors: Eileen Boris, Angus Burgin, Gary Gerstle, Romain Huret, Meg Jacobs, Michael Kazin, Sophia Lee, Nelson Lichtenstein, Joe McCartin, Alice O'Connor, Paul Sabin, Reuel Schiller, Kit Smemo, David Stein, Jean-Christian Vinel, Julian Zelizer.

Why did some of the "best and brightest" of Weimar intellectuals advocate totalitarian solutions to the problems of liberal democratic, capitalist society? How did their "radical conservatism" contribute to the rise of National Socialism? What roles did they play in the Third Reich? How did their experience of totalitarianism lead them to recast their social and political thought? This biography of Hans Freyer, a prominent German sociologist and political ideologist, is a case study of intellectuals and a "god that failed"--not on the political left, but on the right, where its significance has been overlooked. The author explores the interaction of political ideology and academic social science in democratic and totalitarian regimes, the transformation of German conservatism by the experience of National Socialism, and the ways in which tension between former collaborators and former opponents of National Socialism continued to mold West German intellectual life in the postwar decades.

“Clever...a good introduction not only to Buckley and smart conservative thought but (strange concept) a sadly disappeared politics of civility.” — Los Angeles Times “Hendershot does more than tell the history of a uniquely influential show and personality; her thorough, compelling, and very readable book provides a three-decade journey through the center of the nation’s intellectual life.” — Publishers Weekly “A thoroughly researched work replete with intelligence, admiration, balanced criticism, and even a bit of nostalgia.” — Kirkus Reviews (starred review) “Hendershot lauds Buckley for the intelligence, honesty, wit, civility, and élan with which he developed meaningful dialogues ... A cogent reminder of what political broadcasting could be.” — Booklist (starred review) “William F. Buckley and his long-running, unique show Firing Line provides a window (if sometimes a curved mirror) through which to see a turbulent and transformative time in American politics. If you want to step into a time machine for a look back, this book is your ticket.” — Ira Glasser, American Civil Liberties Union Executive Director 1978-2001 (retired), currently Board President, Drug Policy Alliance
