Im gegenwärtigen ethischen Diskurs um Menschenrechte nimmt der Fähigkeitenansatz von Martha Nussbaum eine prominente Stellung ein. Er verspricht, eine überzeugendere Antwort mit Blick auf die Herausforderungen universaler Normen zu geben als andere. Doch gelingt ihm dies? Was zeichnet ihn aus? Und was kann er zu aktuellen gesellschaftlichen Kontroversen beitragen? Vor dem Hintergrund der anhaltenden Diskussion um Frauenrechte und Religionsfreiheit, die sich z.B. in der Burka-Debatte konkretisiert, zeichnet Cornelia Mügge Nussbaums Argumentation detailliert nach und diskutiert, wie sie den Herausforderungen von Geschlecht und Religion begegnet. Es lohnt sich, so ihr Plädoyer, Nussbaums Ansatz in der Menschenrechtsdebatte stark zu machen, wenngleich das Universalitätskonzept weiterentwickelt werden sollte. »[Die] Arbeit kann mit guten Gründen als Meilenstein für die religionsphilosophische und theologische Rezeption von Nussbaums Werk betrachtet werden.« Martin Breul, Theologische Revue, 114/5 (2018) »Dieses Buch bietet eine detaillierte Analyse des Fähigkeitenansatzes setzt sich mit verschiedenen Perspektiven der Kritik an Menschenrechten und insbesondere an ihrem Universalitätsanspruch auseinander und sucht im Anschluss an Nussbaum nach einem angemessenen und plausiblen Verständnis universaler Normen.« Dieter Bach, www.lehrerbibliothek.de, 1 (2018) Besprochen in: http://www.centrum3.at, 11 (2017) http://www.frauensolidaritaet.org, 11 (2017) Zeitschrift für Menschenrechte, 12/2 (2018), Marie-Luisa Frick Ethik und Gesellschaft, 1 (2019), Grit Straßenberger

In this book, Sara Monoson challenges the longstanding and widely held view that Plato is a virulent opponent of all things democratic. She does not, however, offer in its place the equally mistaken idea that he is somehow a partisan of democracy. Instead, she argues that we should attend more closely to Plato's suggestion that democracy is horrifying and exciting, and she seeks to explain why he found it morally and politically intriguing. Monoson focuses on Plato's engagement with democracy as he knew it: a cluster of cultural practices that reach into private and public life, as well as a set of governing institutions. She proposes that while Plato charts tensions between the claims of democratic legitimacy and philosophical truth, he also exhibits a striking attraction to four practices central to Athenian democratic politics: intense antityrantism, frank speaking, public funeral oratory, and theater-going. By juxtaposing detailed examination of these aspects of Athenian democracy with analysis of the figurative language, dramatic structure, and arguments of the dialogues, she shows that Plato systematically links democratic ideals and activities to philosophic labor. Monoson finds that Plato's political thought exposes intimate connections between Athenian democratic politics and the practice of philosophy. Situating Plato's political thought in the context of the Athenian democratic imaginary, Monoson develops a new, textured way of thinking of the relationship between Plato's thought and the politics of his city.
