Abstract

A novel focus on "personal responsibility" has transformed political thought and public policy in America and Europe. Since the 1970s, responsibility--which once meant the moral duty to help and support others--has come to suggest an obligation to be self-sufficient. This narrow conception of responsibility has guided recent reforms of the welfare state, making key entitlements conditional on good behavior. Drawing on intellectual history, political theory, and moral philosophy, Yascha Mounk shows why the Age of Responsibility is pernicious--and how it might be overcome. Mounk shows that today's focus on individual culpability is both wrong and counterproductive: it distracts us from the larger economic forces determining aggregate outcomes, ignores what we owe our fellow citizens regardless of their choices, and blinds us to other key values, such as the desire to live in a society of equals. Recognizing that even society's neediest members seek to exercise genuine agency, Mounk builds a positive conception of responsibility. Instead of punishing individuals for their past choices, he argues, public policy should aim to empower them to take responsibility for themselves--and those around them.--

Abstract

From India to Turkey, from Poland to the United States, authoritarian populists have seized power. Two core components of liberal democracy--individual rights and the popular will--are at war, putting democracy itself at risk. In plain language, Yascha Mounk describes how we got here, where we need to go, and why there is little time left to waste.--

Abstract

Als een van de meest gezaghebbende politiek denkers ter wereld heeft Yascha Mounk al vaak gewaarschuwd voor het gevaar dat rechts-populisme vormt voor de democratie. Maar, zo betoogt hij, hoewel de tegenstanders van extreemrechts vol goede bedoelingen handelen, dreigen ze nu in een zogenaamde identiteitsval te lopen. De afgelopen decennia is er vanuit linkse hoek een obsessie met groepsidentiteit ontstaan die zeer snel invloedrijk is geworden. En de ideologie die aan deze groepsidentiteit verbonden is, in de volksmond bekend als wokisme, werkt extreemrechtse bewegingen nu vaak onbedoeld in de hand.In De identiteitsval legt Mounk uit waarom er met deze ideologie aan goedbedoelde intenties voorbij wordt gegaan en houdt hij een hartstochtelijk pleidooi voor de manieren waarop we échte gelijkheid kunnen bereiken.https://www.standaardboekhandel.be/p/de-identiteitsval-9789000383863

Abstract

Comment des idées progressistes sont-elles devenues ? le terreau d'une idéologie délétère pour la liberté, ? l'égalité et la justice sociale ? Création de classes pour les seuls élèves noirs, triage racial dans les hôpitaux, mise en place de fonds de soutien aux entreprises dirigées uniquement par des femmes, aides municipales réservées aux personnes trans... ? : aux Etats-Unis, en Grande-Bretagne et même en France, les politiques et les usages qui varient selon la couleur, la religion ou l'identité sexuelle des citoyens se multiplient. Comment en est-on arrivé là? ? Face à la persistance d'injustices criantes, une partie de la gauche a défendu la nécessité de s'éloigner des principes universalistes et d'appliquer des politiques adaptées à chaque communauté marginalisée ? : les minorités discriminées devaient pouvoir revendiquer leur identité avec fierté. Mais à une nécessaire défense des plus opprimés s'est peu à peu substituée une obsession de l'identité sous toutes ses formes, plaçant les communautés au coeur de la démocratie. Faisant bientôt le jeu des populismes de tout bord, l' "? identitarisme ? " a rendu de plus en plus difficiles le dialogue et la compréhension entre les citoyens. Yascha Mounk retrace les origines, les conséquences et les dangers de cette idéologie pourtant séduisante, de ses bonnes intentions initiales à ses dérives récentes. Il en effectue l'analyse intellectuelle et historique, avant d'entreprendre une critique philosophique rigoureuse de ses principes. Enfin, il nous propose une salutaire alternative fondée sur le respect des règles universalistes et des valeurs fondamentales de nos sociétés que sont la liberté d'expression, la justice pour tous ou encore l'égalité des chances.

Abstract

The origins, consequences and limitations of an ideology that has quickly become highly influential around the world. For much of their history, societies have violently oppressed ethnic, religious and sexual minorities. It is no surprise then that many who passionately believe in social justice have come to think that members of marginalized groups need to take pride in their identity if they are to resist injustice. But over the past decades, a healthy appreciation for the culture and heritage of minorities has transformed into an obsession with group identity in all its forms, one that has quickly become influential around the world. A new ideology - which Yascha Mounk terms the 'identity synthesis' - seeks to put each citizen's matrix of identities at the heart of social, cultural and political life. This, he argues, is the Identity Trap. Mounk traces the intellectual origins, consequences and limitations of these ideas, explaining how they have been able to win tremendous power over the past decade and why their application to areas from education to public policy is proving to be deeply counterproductive. In his passionate plea for universalism and humanism, he argues that the proponents of identitarian ideas will, though they may be full of good intentions, make it harder to achieve progress towards genuine equality.
