Liberalism, Perfectionism, and Civic Virtue(135KB)
This paper explores the question whether perfectionism amounts to a
political doctrine that is more attractive than liberalism. I try to
show that an egalitarian liberalism that is open to questions of value
and that holds a conception of limited neutrality can meet the
perfectionist challenge.
Freedom and Equality: Beyond Egalitarianism
and Anti-Egalitarianism(134KB)
In this paper I argue that an autonomy-based political theory
intergrates the value of equality in a form that allows us to leave
behind the dispute between egalitarianism and anti-egalitarianism.
Zivilgesellschaft – Was kann und soll es
bedeuten?(93KB)
In dem Text analysiere ich, welche Probleme das Nachdenken über die
Kategorie der Zivilgesellschaft so dringlich gemacht haben. Ich
argumentiere, dass dies die Frage demokratischer Gesellschaften nach
den ethisch und politisch relevanten Räumen ist, die sich zwischen
einer jedem staatlichen Zugriff entzogenen persönlichen Moral und der
Sphäre des positiven Rechts auftun.
