Abstract

La démocratie belge est à la croisée des chemins : un nombre toujours croissant d’abstentions lors des élections, une montée aussi spectaculaire qu’inquiétante des partis extrémistes, une incapacité chronique à composer un gouvernement stable dans un délai raisonnable et une impuissance des gouvernants à prendre des décisions à long terme qui entraîne un déficit de confiance dans le chef d’une grande partie de la population. Sans doute est-il plus que temps de repenser un système institutionnel qui, à beaucoup d’égards, date du XIXe siècle. L’ouvrage propose dix réformes de fond touchant tout à la fois, le système électoral (visant à transformer une représentation proportionnelle en un système mixte qui serait à la fois efficace et protecteur des minorités, à rendre réellement effectif le vote obligatoire et à assurer un vrai contrôle juridictionnel sur la régularité des élections), l’État particratique (visant à reconnaître les partis politiques dans la Constitution, à leur accorder des privilèges, mais également à les soumettre à des obligations et des contrôles externes, et à interdire ceux d’entre eux qui poursuivent des finalités liberticides) et le régime représentatif (osant la voie du tirage au sort parmi les citoyens pour composer des deuxièmes assemblées à tous les niveaux de pouvoir). Il y a urgence à ce sujet.

Abstract

Een theorie van rechtvaardigheid van John Rawls is misschien wel het meest invloedrijke werk op het gebied van moraalfilosofie en politieke filosofie uit de twintigste eeuw. Dit boek heeft niet alleen op filosofen en andere academici een onuitwisbare indruk gemaakt, maar ook buiten de universiteit op politieke essayisten, juristen, politici en mensen uit de burgerrechtenbeweging. In Nederland en België speelt het tot op de dag van vandaag een voorname rol in politieke debatten over het beleid dat zou moeten worden nagestreefd in een liberaal-democratische verzorgingsstaaat. Een theorie van rechtvaardigheid (1971) is het hoofdwerk van Rawls. Het boek werd in 27 talen vertaald. De Nederlandse vertaling volgt de volledig herziene Harvard-editie uit 1999.

Abstract

The world we live in is unjust. Preventable deprivation and suffering shape the lives of many people, while others enjoy advantages and privileges aplenty. Cosmopolitan responsibility addresses the moral responsibilities of privileged individuals to take action in the face of global structural injustice. Individuals are called upon to complement institutional efforts to respond to global challenges, such as climate change, unfair global trade, or world poverty.  Committed to an ideal of relational equality among all human beings, the book discusses the impact of individual action, the challenge of special obligations, and the possibility of moral overdemandingness in order to lay the ground for an action-guiding ethos of cosmopolitan responsibility.  This thought-provoking book will be of interest to any reflective reader concerned about justice and responsibilities in a globalised world.  Jan-Christoph Heilinger is a moral and political philosopher. He teaches at Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität, Munich, Germany, and at Ecole normale supérieure, Port-au-Prince, Haiti.

Abstract

After President Trump?s election, BREXIT and the widespread rise of far-Right political parties, much public discussion has intensely focused on populism and authoritarianism. In the middle of the twentieth century, members of the early Frankfurt School prolifically studied and theorized fascism and anti-Semitism in Germany and the United States. In this volume, leading European and American scholars apply insights from the early Frankfurt School to present-day authoritarian populism, including the Trump phenomenon and related developments across the globe. Chapters are arranged into three sections exploring different aspects of the topic: theories, historical foundations, and manifestations via social media. Contributions examine the vital political, psychological and anthropological theories of early Frankfurt School thinkers, and how their insights could be applied now amidst the insecurities and confusions of twenty-first century life. The many theorists considered include Adorno, Fromm, Lw̲enthal and Marcuse, alongside analysis of Austrian Facebook pages and Trump?s tweets and operatic media drama. This book is a major contribution towards deeper understanding of populism?s resurgence in the age of digital capitalism.

Abstract

In Rancière's Sentiments Davide Panagia explores Jacques Rancière's aesthetics of politics as it informs his radical democratic theory of participation. Attending to diverse practices of everyday living and doing--of form, style, and scenography--in Rancière's writings, Panagia characterizes Rancière as a sentimental thinker for whom the aesthetic is indistinguishable from the political. Rather than providing prescriptions for political judgment and action, Rancière focuses on how sensibilities and perceptions constitute dynamic relations between persons and the worlds they create. Panagia traces this approach by examining Rancière's modernist sensibilities, his theory of radical mediation, the influence of Gustave Flaubert on Rancière's literary voice, and how Rancière juxtaposes seemingly incompatible objects and phenomena to create moments of sensorial disorientation. The power of Rancière's work, Panagia demonstrates, lies in its ability to leave readers with a disjunctive sensibility of the world and what political thinking is and can be.
