Anliegen dieses Buches ist es, das politische Denken des amerikanischen Theoretikers Michael Walzer systematisch zu rekonstruieren. Statt einer vorgängigen Zuordnung Walzers zu "Kommunitaristen" oder "Liberalen" wird seine politische Philosophie aus ihrem inneren Zusammenhang heraus verstanden. Das Einleitungskapitel wendet sich Walzers Sicht der gegenwärtigen Aufgabe einer in der Tradition der demokratischen Linken stehenden politischen Theorie zu, wie er sie noch vor dem Ausbruch der Kommunitarismusdebatte dargestellt hat. Walzers selbstgestecktes Ziel, trotz des Verzichtes auf ein gesellschaftstheoretisch oder moralphilosophisch abgesichertes Fundament zur Formulierung einer "kohärenten Perspektive" zu gelangen, wird als theoretischer Ausgangspunkt der folgenden Überlegungen genommen. Inhaltlich wird bei Walzers Plädoyer für eine an der moralischen Alltagserfahrung orientierte Gesellschafts- und Herrschaftskritik sowie für eine egalitäre Politik der Gemeinschaft angesetzt. Im ersten Teil wird der metatheoretische Standpunkt Walzers analysiert, das heisst seine Vorstellung von einer interpretativ verfahrenden politischen Philosophie und Gesellschaftskritik sowie seine Sicht des moralischen Universalismus. Der zweite Teil behandelt Walzers Stellungnahmen zu zentralen Problemen, Begriffen und Konzepten der politischen Theorie wie "politische Gemeinschaft", "Krieg und Frieden", "Liberalismus", "Demokratie" und "zivile Gesellschaft". Gegenstand des dritten Teils ist Walzers Gerechtigkeitstheorie. Abschließend fragt der Autor nach der Bedeutung Walzers im Rahmen der politischen Philosophie der Gegenwart.

Michael Walzer is one of the world’s most important political thinkers, whose major works, such as Spheres of Justice and Just and Unjust Wars, have transformed many central debates in contemporary political philosophy. In this book, Toby J. Reiner provides the most wide-ranging and up-to-date introduction to his work available. Reiner examines his writings on topics ranging from justice in war, humanitarian intervention and migration ethics to distributive justice, multiculturalism, and the political role of religion. Situating Walzer’s thought in the intellectual environment of post-war American leftist politics, Reiner demonstrates the importance of his attempt to provide a social-democratic alternative to liberalism, Marxism, and post-modernism. He shows that Walzer has developed a novel approach to political theory based on the thesis that human communities construct the values that give meaning to their lives, giving his work a significance that goes well beyond political theory, into political and social science more broadly. Reiner not only gives a crystal clear guide to Walzer’s ideas for students of political philosophy and general readers, but also develops an original and illuminating new interpretation of his thought that no political theorist can afford to miss.

Michael Walzer is one of the pre-eminent political theorists in the world today and also a prominent public intellectual. His conception of social justice and his work on just and unjust wars have been hugely influential in political theory and, at the same time, he has taken a public stand on many of the great issues of our time, from the civil rights movement and the Vietnam War to 9/11, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and the Iraq War. He stands out among political theorists and philosophers by virtue of his attention to historical reality and his sensitivity to social and political context. Convinced that philosophical debate is only useful if it is rooted in the concrete practices and morality of societies, he develops a form of social critique that is opposed to a disembodied philosophy which does not respond to concerns of ordinary people. For Walzer, it is useless to try to write a theory of justice: the challenge is to think through issues of justice in relation to the particular contexts in which people live out their lives. The core strength of his work is his practical instinct: if individuals are contextualized, critique must be too. This book takes the form of an extended conversation between Walzer and Astrid von Busekist, ranging from Walzer’s biography and political activism to his work on war, justice and Judaism. Weaving together his theoretical work and his political activism, it provides an outstanding introduction to the life and work of one of the most influential political theorists of our time.

Christian tradition demands basic sustenance for all as a human right. Yet the contemporary capitalist economy makes no such demands, and the free market is not designed to provide basic human sustenance. As Western Christians, how ought we to solve this conundrum? Kent Van Til maintains that the gulf between the two calls for an alternative system of distribution. In this constructively critical work Van Til takes a hard look at the realities of life in a free-market system, including illuminating examples from his own experience in Latin America. He considers how the contemporary capitalist economy guides the distribution of goods around the world, and he examines the inadequacies of this system. Drawing heavily on the ideas of political theorist Michael Walzer and nineteenth-century theologian-statesman Abraham Kuyper, Van Til proposes an alternative system of distributive justice, equalizing the claims to both burdens and benefits.

Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2008 im Fachbereich Philosophie - Praktische (Ethik, Ästhetik, Kultur, Natur, Recht, ...), Note: 2.0, Technische Universität Dresden (Institut für Philosophie), Veranstaltung: Praktische Philosophie im Ethikunterricht, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: „Ich und noch einmal ich und als Erfüllungshilfe Du. Und wenn nicht Du, dann Du.“ So oder so ähnlich könnte unser derzeitiges Miteinander umschrieben werden – treffend und doch betroffen machend. Immer mehr Nachrichten ereilen uns, die ein Durchsetzen von Individualinteressen auf Kosten der Gemeinschaft zum Inhalt haben. So werden Steuern hinterzogen, indem sie, am deutschen Fiskus vorbei, in sogenannte „Steueroasen“ verlagert werden. Hier spricht sich das Ziel der Geldmaximierung des Einzelnen aus. Was allerdings im Unterton mitschwingt, ist der Missstand unserer Gesellschaft. Jener, der soziale Bindungen aushöhlt und schwächt, Pflichten vergessen und moralische Werte relativ erscheinen lässt. Das kann dann soweit führen, dass eine Gesellschaft unfähig wird, äußeren wie inneren Angriffe standzuhalten. Nun stellt sich die Frage, worin dieser Missstand besteht? Ist es die Überbetonung des Individuums und dessen Rechte, die an dem Desinteresse an Staat, Politik und Gesellschaft Schuld hat? Einen solchen Zusammenhang sieht der K o m m u n i t a r i s m u s jedenfalls als gegeben an. Entstanden in den frühen achtziger Jahren in den USA, findet diese politische Philosophie ihren Ausgangspunkt in der theoretischen Debatte um die Vertragstheorie John Rawls`. Das anhaltende Interesse an jener politisch-philosophischen Strömung erscheint angesichts der bereits erwähnten Schieflage unserer Gesellschaft bzw. der Westlichen im Allgemeinen verständlich und ist daher Grund genug, sich mit dem kommunitären Denken auseinander zu setzen. Im Rahmen der Frage, was den Kommunitarismus in seiner Gesamtheit als politische Philosophie auszeichnet, soll diese Darstellung dreigeteilt werden. Beginnend mit der theoretisch-philosophischen Debatte um die Konstitution des Individuums, wird mithilfe der Überlegungen Michael Walzers eine Brücke zu der praktisch-politischen Relevanz des Kommunitarismus geschlagen. Ohne eine Vollständigkeit beanspruchen zu wollen, soll zumindest bewusst gemacht werden, dass es durchaus einen Zusammenhang zwischen dem übersteigerten Individualismus und der Auflösungstendenz sozialer Bindungen in unserer Gesellschaft gibt.

Does the psychoanalytic concept of narcissism contribute to enhancing the disciplinary quality and features of political theory? This book tries to portray the foundations of democracy as both a universal value and a system of values embedded in specific cultural systems of meaning from its psychoanalytic perspective. This cross-disciplinary normative attempt makes possible the constructive dialogue between contemporary Western and Japanese culture by focusing on how the psychological foundations of democracy are treated within a common disciplinary framework in two different sociocultural contexts. In light of the integration of the psychiatrically mythical idea, the book argues that the key subjects of political theory are to identify the sources of totalitarian and fascist orientations in seemingly democratic practice, and to deal with them in psychoanalytically diagnostic and remedial terms.
