In today's context of rapid socio-political changes, with deepening ethnic and religious conflicts on the one hand, and a diminishing feeling of identification with the community on the other, reflection on the idea of "solidarity" is very much necessary. This book provides answers to the following questions: "What is the idea of solidarity today?"; "How can it be defined?"; "How has it evolved over recent decades?"; "How does it manifest itself in social life?"; "How is it reflected in the a.

Cette étude porte sur la réception des communautariens américains (en particulier C. Taylor, J. Rawls et W. Kymlicka) dans l'oeuvre des philosophes allemands contemporains. Elle montre que les débats américains sur la reconnaissance des identités des minorités ont permis la réhabilitation, en Allemagne, d'une conception dynamique de la culture, héritée de l'Aufklärung. ©Electre 2016

This volume provides a general theory of discrimination law as practised in liberal democratic jurisdictions. Rejecting accounts that place the value of equality at the heart of the law, it argues that discrimination law protects individual autonomy. Applying the theory, the book tackles the central legal problems in applying discrimination laws.

Noch vor kurzem erschien es kaum denkbar, dass in der westlichen Welt Konflikte entstehen könnten, die an längst vergangene Religionskriege erinnern. Der längere Zeit aus dem Theoriegespräch verschwundene Begriff der Toleranz hat sich hier als ein Konzept angeboten, mit dem nach einem Ausgleich der kulturellen Gegensätze gesucht werden kann. Hier wird nicht selten nach einer Begriffsbestimmung mit größerer historischer Reichweite gesucht. Eine historische Vergewisserung ist notwendig, da Ansätze zur Lösung der sich gegenwärtig stellenden Probleme noch immer in der auf die Frühe Neuzeit zurückgehenden naturrechtlich-politischen Diskussion und Begriffsgeschichte zu finden sind. Die Kriterien zur Rechtfertigung von Toleranz lassen sich aus den Konzeptionen entwickeln und an den Argumenten prüfen, die seit der Reformation die Auseinandersetzung über die Duldung fremder Konfessionen bestimmt haben. Auch die Grenzen der Toleranz und die mit dem Begriff verbundenen Paradoxien lassen sich vor diesem Hintergrund erörtern, wie die in diesem Band versammelten Beiträge zeigen.

In this short book, Sam Harris and Maajid Nawaz invite you to join an urgently needed conversation: Is Islam a religion of peace or war? Is it amenable to reform? Why do so many Muslims seem drawn to extremism? What do words like Islamism, jihadism, and fundamentalism mean in today's world? Remarkable for the breadth and depth of its analysis, this dialogue between a famous atheist and a former radical is all the more startling for its decorum. Harris and Nawaz have produced something genuinely new: they engage one of the most polarizing issues of our time -- fearlessly and fully -- and actually make progress. Islam and the Future of Tolerance has been published with the explicit goal of inspiring a wider public discussion by way of example. In a world riven by misunderstanding and violence, Harris and Nawaz demonstrate how two people with very different views can find common ground.

"What do Buddhism and Islam have in common? And what positive characteristics might Buddhist Japan and Muslim Indonesia be able to offer one another? In this thoughtful and wide-ranging discussion which draws on creative artists and thinkers as diverse as Beethoven, Goethe, Tolstoy, Thomas Jefferson and Akira Kurosawa distinguished representatives from each country demonstrate that meaningful dialogue between religions and cultures begins with a one-to-one conversation between individuals. Addressing the similarities of their nations as island peoples, with a shared history of trade and cultural exchange, Abdurrahman Wahid and Daisaku Ikeda agree that the aim of dialogue, like that of Buddhism and Islam alike, is fundamentally the goal of peace. A pivotal moment in the conversation comes when reference is made to the Indonesian story of the Bamboo Princess, from the Chronicle of the Kings of Pasai; this is seen to bear close resemblance to the Japanese Taketori Monogatari, or 'Tale of the Bamboo Cutter'. Such narrative interrelationship which can be discerned even in the midst of religious and cultural distinctiveness emerges as a powerful symbol of the common humanity not just of Indonesia and Japan but of all cultures. Both thinkers continue to draw on their respective traditions, on their personal experiences of war and adversity, and especially on the lives of the Buddha and the Prophet Mohammed, to show that harmony springs from an attitude of tolerance and nonviolence which is where true courage resides. Whether masterfully expounding the teachings of Nichiren, or indicating that a proper understanding of jihad is not about religious conflict but about communicating the truth of Allah, the discussants mutually transform our understandings of value, pluralism, and amity."--Bloomsbury Publishing.
