Tolerance And The Ethical Life

by Andrew Fiala

24,27€ + 10% CARD

 In a fresh and exciting way, this new book shows how tolerance connects with the practice of philosophy. Andrew Fiala examines the virtue of tolerance as it appears in several historical contexts: Socratic philosophy, Stoic philosophy, Pragmatism, and Existentialism. The lesson derived is that tolerance is a virtue for what Fiala calls ''tragic communities''. Such communities are developed when we come together across our differences, but they lack the robust sense of connection that we often seek with others - the complete sort of happiness that is offered by a more utopian ideal of community. But rather than viewing this conclusion as a failure, Fiala maintains that tragic communities are the best communities possible for human beings who are aware of their own individuality and finitude. Indeed, they are typical of the sorts of communities created by philosophers engaged in dialogue with others.<br/><br/>Tolerance and the Ethical Life will strongly appeal to specialists and upper-level students in Ethics and Political Philosophy, both for its unique historical exploration of tolerance and its application of those results to present-day moral theory.

Hegel'S Rabble - An Investigation Into Hegel''S Philosophy Of Right

by Frank Ruda

46,49€ + 10% CARD

 In Hegel''s Rabble, Frank Ruda identifies and explores a crucial problem in the Hegelian philosophy of right that strikes at the heart of Hegel''s conception of the state. This singular problem, which Ruda argues is the problem of Hegelian political thought, appears in Hegel''s text only in a seemingly marginal form under the name of the "rabble": a particular side-effect of the dialectical deduction of the necessity of the existence of state from the contradictory constitution of civil society. Working out from a thorough analysis of this problem and drawing on contemporary discussions in the work of such thinkers as Alain Badiou, Jean-Luc Nancy and Slavoj Zizek, the book proceeds to re-examine and reconstruct Hegel''s entire political project. Ruda goes on to argue that only by re-thinking this problem of ''the rabble'' in Hegel''s thought - the only problem Hegel is able neither to resolve nor to sublate - can the early Marxian conception of ''the proletariat'' be properly understood. The book closes with an Afterword from Slavoj Zizek.
