Abstract

Als "innerweltliche Askese" beschrieb Max Weber die reformierte Religion und Lebensführung. Für deutsche und "frankophone" Texte (Lehrbücher, Essays, Periodika, Reden/Rededramen, philosophische Romane) des ausgehenden 17. und des 18. Jahrhunderts zeigt diese vergleichende, literatur- und denkgeschichtliche Untersuchung, daß die Beschreibung Webers zwar zutrifft, aber zu kurz greift: Wenn reformierte Gelehrte wie der Naturrechtler Jean Barbeyrac, der Prediger-Philosoph Jean Henri Samuel Formey, der Mathematiker Jean Pierre de Crousaz und der Mediziner-Dichter Albrecht von Haller "rationalen" Morallehren (Hugo Grotius, Samuel Pufendorf, Christian Wolff) zuneigten, dann bestand ihre Leistung darin, diese "empirisch" zu prüfen, die "Bedrohung" durch die Skepsis abzuwehren und das Ergebnis in "angenehmer Form" zu verbreiten. Sie pflegten den Austausch mit Gelehrten unterschiedlicher Herkunft und Anschauung, traten für Toleranz und für die Vereinigung der protestantischen Kirchen ein. Deutsche Autoren wie Johann Christoph und Luise Adelgunde Victoria Gottsched teilten ihre Anliegen und folgten dem französisch-reformierten Vorbild. Christoph Martin Wieland aber kritisierte die "rationalen" Morallehren im philosophischen Roman - um sie als eine Denkmöglichkeit zu erhalten. Denn die "empirische" und gemäßigte Aufklärung betrachtete sich bereits als durch radikale Philosophien gefährdet. In der Literatur suchte sie eine Zuflucht.

Abstract

Ethical questions are often associated with practical dilemmas: questions in morality, in other words. This volume, by contrast, asks questions about morality: what it is, and to what it owes its precarious authority over us. The focus on metaethics is sustained throughout, via a wide range of distinguished philosophical perspectives.

Abstract

This new book reflects Derrida's latest views on the role of education and international organizations in an era of globalization. In this book, Derrida develops a notion of the global citizen that is uniquely post-Kantian. He looks especially at the changing role of UNESCO and similar organizations at a time when individual and national identities, knowledge and commerce, and human rights all are brought to world attention in new ways than they have been in the past. Following Derrida's writings on these issues, prominent scholars engage in a dialogue with him on his approach to understanding

Abstract

Timothy Sprigge has been a major player on the philosophical scene contributing to discussions as diverse as consciousness, the ontology of time, personal identity, animal rights, punishment, censorship and wider issues in metaphysics, ethics and the history of philosophy. He is, however, less well known for his own highly original system of metaphysics and ethics'a synthesis of Absolute Idealism, panpsychism and utilitarianism. The contributions gathered in this volume, written by philosophers of international reputation or by acknowledged scholars in their specialized fields of inquiry, enga

Abstract

This work defines its course in reference to Nietzsche's Also Sprach Zarathustra. The author uses Zarathustra to reflect how our understanding is wedded to affective modes, thematizing especially laughter, fear, awe and hope. The book invites us to rethink how to overcome some relevant impasses of contemporary analytic, hermeneutic and (post)deconstructionist thought. The author seeks the dialogue with the texts and the reader and gradually brings to the fore the ethical. In the words of the author: Most works on Nietzsche talk about him, few address him, much less invite the reader to
