This book calls for a philosophical consideration of the development, challenges and successes of the European Union. The author argues that conceptual innovation is essential if progress on the European project is to be made; new meanings, rather than financial or institutional engineering solutions, will help solve the crisis. By applying a philosophical approach to diagnosing the EU crisis, the book reconsiders the basic concepts of democracy in the context of the complex reality of the EU and the globalised world where profound social and political changes are taking place. It will be of interest to students and scholars interested in EU politics, political theory and philosophy. .

L'hospitalité répond aux caractéristiques de ces expériences éthiques fondamentales qui tissent la vie des êtres humains. Dans l'échange de l'hospitalité se manifeste la première forme d'une humanité générale. L'hospitalité est une catégorie qui permet d'interpréter la situation générale de l'homme dans le monde. Que nous soyons les hôtes les uns des autres signifie que notre situation dans le monde répond à une structure de la réception et de la rencontre, qu'il existe une liberté pour donner et pour recevoir au-delà des impératifs de la réciprocité. Dans une certaine mesure, ce livre propose une éthique de la contrariété face à une éthique de l'initiative, et vise une idée de la vie bonne plus intéressée à laisser ouverte la possibilité de s'émouvoir qu'à se protéger de toute irruption de l'inattendu. La compétence éthique fondamentale consiste à s'ouvrir vers le tout autre et les autres, à être accessible aux sollicitations du monde, attentif à ce qui est différent de soi-même. Il y a une certaine supériorité morale des petites manies sur l'autosuffisance, de l'amour vulnérable sur le contrôle et la modération, de la générosité de la passion sur la prudence rationnelle, de l'excès sur la simple réciprocité. L'éthique de l'hospitalité intervient à propos dans un moment culturel tiraillé par le conflit entre les impératifs de la modernisation et de la croissance, d'une part, et d'autre part, par les exigences d'une éthique de la conservation, de la prudence et de la protection. Face à la fragilité générale du monde, nous assistons à l'émergence d'une forte sensibilité, d'une nouvelle sollicitude et d'un souci de l'autre. Dans ce contexte, le devoir des individus ne consiste pas à se protéger de la société, mais à la défendre, à prendre soin d'un tissu social en dehors duquel aucune identité ne peut se réaliser.

"This volume in the Political Theory and Contemporary Philosophy series extends democracy to knowledge in two ways. First, it argues that the issues science seeks to clarify are relevant for all citizens. Second, it explains that the fundamental problems faced by any democracy, such as the economic crisis, are not so much problems of political will as cognitive failures that must be resolved through both a greater knowledge of the realities over which we govern and a fine-tuning of the tools of governance. In fact, knowledge and related fields are spheres in which not only economic prosperity, but also democratic quality, are determined. Thus politics of knowledge and through knowledge has become a question of democratic citizenship. After introducing the concept of governing knowledge, the book discusses the political action of collective organization of uncertainty, before developing the idea of the cognitive challenge of the economy, revealed by today's economic crisis. A groundbreaking work by a renowned philosopher, it will be an accessible and fundamental resource for anyone interested in the relation of power to knowledge."--Bloomsbury Publishing.

La connaissance est plus qu'un moyen d'appréhender le réel. Elle est ce qui nous permet de configurer l'espace démocratique et de vivre ensemble. Nos problèmes collectifs les plus importants – comment sortir de la crise économique, par exemple – semblent en effet tenir autant, peut-être même davantage, à l'insuffisance de notre savoir qu'à un manque de volonté politique. Ce livre développe la thèse selon laquelle la connaissance, dans les multiples dimensions qui sont les siennes aujourd'hui (la compréhension des transformations sociales, les politiques de la science et de l'innovation, l'expertise auprès des responsables politiques, l'évaluation des politiques publiques, etc.) est une sphère où ce qui est en jeu est non seulement la prospérité économique mais, plus fondamentalement encore, la qualité de notre vie démocratique. Abordant les différents aspects de la connaissance contemporaine, l'ouvrage démontre comment la question de la connaissance est devenue centrale dans la démocratie, depuis son mode de production et de diffusion jusqu'à son utilisation dans l'exercice du pouvoir.

Humans may be the only creatures conscious of having a future, but all too often we would rather not think about it. Likewise, our societies, unable to deal with radical uncertainty, do not make policies with a view to the long term. Instead, we suffer from a sense of powerlessness, collective irrationality, and perennial political discontent. In The Future and Its Enemies, Spanish philosopher Daniel Innerarity makes a plea for a new social contract that would commit us to moral and political responsibility with respect to future generations. He urges us to become advocate
